Chandigarh, March 11

Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi submitted his resignation to Governor Banwarilal Purohit on Friday, paving the way for the constitution of the new government.

Channi has been asked to continue till the new government takes over. Channi, along with outgoing Deputy CM Sukhjinder Randhawa, went to meet Governor after the outgoing Cabinet in its last meeting recommended dissolution of the 15th Vidhan Sabha.

The CM hoped the incoming government would earnestly implement the promises made to the people. He also hoped that the decisions taken by his government in the public interest such as reduction of electricity rates, slashing VAT on oil besides decreasing rates of sand and gravel, etc., would be continued by the next government. —

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).
