“I will uphold the dignity of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha and ensure that the democratic values of the Constitution are always upheld,” said the newly elected Pro tem Speaker of Punjab Vidhan Sabha Dr Inderbir Singh Nijjar.

A doctor-turned-politician, Dr Nijjar is the newly elected MLA from Amritsar South. He was administered the oath of office by Governor Banwari Lal Purohit this evening. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was present at the oath-taking ceremony held at Punjab Raj Bhavan.

The appointment comes just before the first session of the Vidhan Sabha is to commence from Thursday. —

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).
