Chandigarh, March 17

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Thursday announced an anti-corruption helpline.

Mann chose the March 23 Matrydom Day for the launch of the helpline. This is the first major announcement made by Mann after he took over as Punjab Chief Minister yesterday.

Earlier in the day, the first session of the 16th Vidhan Sabha started with Pro-tem Speaker Inderbir Singh Nijjar administering the oath as Member of the House to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

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).
