The Centre has slammed the West Bengal Government for not allowing the movement of goods carriers through Indo-Bangladesh border, which, it said, is an “act of violation of the Constitution and will have international implications”.

In a strong-worded letter to West Bengal Chief Secretary Rajiva Sinha, Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla directed the state government to allow transportation of essential goods through borders without any further delay.

The Union Home Secretary said, “The act of the West Bengal Government amounts to violation of the Orders issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs.”

Bhalla said in the new guidelines “it has been clearly spelt out that no state or UT shall stop the movement of cargo for the cross-border land trade under treaties with neighbouring countries”. — 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).
