Chandigarh, May 29

The Council of Ministers, which is meeting on Monday, is expected to decide on holding the Budget session of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha.

Initially, it was decided that the session would be held in the first week of June. However, with the announcement of the Sangrur byelection on June 23, and a model code of conduct in place in the parliamentary constituency, the government now wants to present its first Budget after the elections. The Cabinet is also expected to decide on fund allocation for buying of moong crop at the MSP of Rs 7,275 per quintal.

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).
