Fatehgarh Sahib, March 16

Deputy Commissioner (DC) Parneet Shergill today directed all district officials to fix a specific time slot for public hearings and to address the grievances in a fixed time frame.

She said the timings should be displayed outside the offices for the information of the public and also ordered the officials to be present in office on time.

The officer said it had come to her notice that most officials did not have a specific time slot for public hearings, thus causing inconvenience to the people as they had to make several rounds to lodge their grievances.

Parneet said the official meetings should be held only in the afternoon so that the time allotted for addressing grievances could be devoted exclusively to people.

She said any official found disobeying the orders would be dealt with severely.

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).
