Chandigarh, October 31

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today said CM Bhagwant Mann was “set to insult the state and its people on Punjab Day tomorrow by creating division in the state polity and derailing the Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) canal issue deliberately on the directions of AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal.”

SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia said the Chief Minister failed to call an all-party meeting to bring everyone together to save the loot of Punjab’s river waters. He also condemned the manner in which “the Punjab Police were being misused to keep Punjabis out of the debate.” He said the entire city had been turned into a cantonment with the ongoing Saras fair being closed abruptly.

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).
