The alleged scam involves the allotment of industrial plots worth crores of rupees at low reserved price to persons who have remained untraceable till date.

Since there has been delay on part of the PSIEC in providing the information, the department would impose penalty on the officials concerned.

Sources in the Corporation said after the original allottee defaulted on payment, they were taken back by the PSIEC due to the non-fulfilment of the allotment conditions. But instead of auctioning, such plots were allotted at a low price to a select few in a hush-hush manner.

The modus operandi was revealed during a Punjab Vigilance Bureau probe.

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).
