Chandigarh, December 8

Social Justice, Empowerment and Minorities Minister Baljit Kaur said here today that a Scheduled Caste certificate of Raj Kumar, alias Raju, a resident of Railway Basti Guruharsahai, Ferozepur, has been declared fake by the scrutiny committee and orders have been issued to cancel it.

Charandas, a resident of Jeewan village, Guruharsahai, had lodged a complaint with the chairman of the Scheduled Caste Commission. The complainant had alleged that Raju had made a fake SC certificate to avail benefits available to the community.

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).
