Chandigarh, July 14

Dubbing as “lame an excuse” by the state that the Ludhiana Deputy Commissioner was facing personal inconvenience in visiting an alleged illegal mining site, the Punjab and Haryana High Court today set a four-day deadline for him and the Sessions Judge to conduct the inspection before filing a report.

As the case came up for resumed hearing before Justice SN Satyanarayana and Justice Archana Puri, the state counsel referred to personal inconvenience before seeking modification of an earlier order to the extent that the DC may depute somebody in his place for inspection. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
