Fatehgarh Sahib, June 9

The SAD activists led by former zila parishad chairman Baljit Singh Bhutta protested against Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) for issuing notices to the consumers to deposit the increased security.

He alleged the PSPCL was collecting crores through dictatorial means. On the one hand, the AAP had promised to provide 600 units of free power and on the other, it has started fleecing the consumers by issuing notices.

An official said the PSERC has directed the PSPCL to ask its consumers to deposit the security on the pattern of billing circle. He said domestic consumers having connections up to 7KW have been exempted and those above 7 KW have been issued notices to deposit the increased security.

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).
