After getting some reports of misappropriation in MGNREGA funds at Gurusar village in Gidderbaha subdivision here, the block development and panchayat officer (BDPO) has marked

a probe into it.

Sukhwinder Kaur, BDPO, Gidderbaha, said, “I have marked the probe to our assistant programme officer. Some people had told me that some ineligible people, including those belonging to well-off families, had got the benefit of the MGNREGA scheme.” — 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).
