Chandigarh, August 12

Former Deputy Speaker Bir Devinder Singh today filed a complaint with the Punjab Lokpal regarding the controversial allotment of 31 acres of JCT land to a realtor.

In his complaint, Bir Devinder has sought the setting aside of the sale of property and handing over the probe to the CBI. He further sought an inquiry into the role of officials who “misused” power, causing a huge loss to the state exchequer. The former Deputy Speaker further sought an FIR against the erring officials and Industries Minister Sunder Sham Arora. — TNS

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).
