Chandigarh, December 13

Former Special Chief Secretary KBS Sidhu did not appear before the Punjab Vigilance Bureau (VB) today to join the inquiry for his alleged role in the irrigation scam. He was summoned by the VB to appear at the Bureau Headquarters today.

It is learnt that Sidhu, in an email sent to the VB, has pointed out that as he received the summons last night on his WhatsApp last night, he could not appear at such a short notice and has sought a postponement in the date of joining the inquiry. He has also sought a fresh or ‘rectified’ order in light of the observations made by the Punjab and Haryana High Court in this regard.

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).
