New Delhi, February 25

West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar has turned down the Chief Secretary’s request to condone the typographical error in the Cabinet note regarding summoning of the Assembly session at 2 pm (instead of 2 am) on March 7.

Dhankhar yesterday summoned the Assembly at 2 am on March 7, acting on a typographical mistake in the state Cabinet’s proposal note. He noted that the timing mentioned in the note had struck him as “somewhat odd”, but added that when he asked the Chief Secretary for clarification, the latter refused to meet him.

He tweeted, “From constitutional perspective, no cognisance of the request of the Chief Secretary, seeking variation in the decision of the Cabinet, can be taken.” —

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).
