Chandigarh, March 13

Finance Minister Harpal Cheema on Wednesday reiterated the government’s policy of zero tolerance towards corrupt practices.

He said the department had taken swift action in the case of senior assistant Subhadesh Kaur posted at the District Treasury Office in Amritsar, who was apprehended yesterday while ‘accepting’ a bribe, resulting in her suspension.

“During suspension, her headquarters is fixed at the District Treasury Office, Tarn Taran”, said Cheema, adding that the department was committed to ensuring investigation into the matter and her suspension served as a step to uphold transparency.

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).
