Abohar, February 13

Refuting the “false claims” being made by the SAD, BJP and AAP about the development under Rs 110 crore Amrit Yojana, PCC former chief Sunil Jakhar claimed the public interest litigation (PIL) filed by him in the High Court in 2014 forced the NDA govt to include Abohar in the ambit of Amrit Yojana.

Supporting Jakhar’s claim, leading lawyer Surinder Pal Singh Tinna, produced copies of the HC orders. He said when the then SAD-BJP government ignored Abohar in development, PILs by Jakhar were filed through him. —

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).
