Faridkot, December 3

The chairman of the management committee of three Government Adarsh Schools in Faridkot and Moga districts has been booked for allegedly misappropriating funds received from the School Education Department for disbursing salaries to teachers.

The police found chairman Narinder Singh Randhawa of the Sukh Sagar Welfare Association and his daughter Harsimran Kaur, principal at one of these schools, guilty of cheating. The department had also found Randhawa guilty of making fake enrollment of 22 teachers in these schools. It is alleged that six teachers, each at Adarsh School Middumann and Pacca villages and 10 teachers enrolled at Adarsh School, Ransingh Kalan, never visited the schools but their salaries were being drawn by the chairman. — OC

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).
