New Delhi, May 16

A group of military veterans have written to President Ram Nath Kovind, requesting that reconstruction of the Central Vista project in New Delhi be stopped.

Calling it a “wasteful” expenditure, they said the project shouldn’t have started at a time when the country lacked resources to provide basic medical assistance to its suffering citizens. “The construction should be stalled for now. It will be in the interest of the nation,” they wrote in the letter. —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).
