Chandigarh, May 24

The Punjab State Commission for Women has requested Chief Secretary Karan Avtar Singh to direct Deputy Commissioners to do the needful in cases of crime against women where mothers were separated from their newborns.

In a letter addressed to the Chief Secretary, Manisha Gulati, Chairperson of the commission, pointed out that some deputy commissioners were not acting on complaints of mothers separated from their infants. The DCs needed to act under the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, the Chairperson said. — 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).
