Amidst public outrage over long delays in the delivery of public services, allegedly to seek graft, the state government has decided to ensure deliverance in a time-bound manner.

In a letter written to all public dealing departments, Chief Secretary KAP Sinha has demanded a list of all applications for various public services that have not been delivered. "Keeping applications pending for long is a way of seeking graft. It will not be tolerated," he has said.

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).
