Mohali, July 3

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) senior vice-president Prem Singh Chandumajra today blamed Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh for the prolonged power cuts in Punjab.

Chandumajra said there was an outcry all over the state due to power cuts and before the start of paddy season, no proper arrangements were made by the Congress government for supplying power. He said the Chief Minister was running away from his responsibilities.

Chandumajra said after reading the headlines of an early monsoon, the Captain government left the farmers and people of the state to fend for themselves. However, due to non-arrival of monsoon, the power supply arrangements made by the Chief Minister were exposed. — 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).
