Muktsar, August 21

Punjab State Human Rights Commission called for a report of water samples from the Deputy Commissioner, Muktsar Municipal Council, and secretaries of local bodies in Punjab and Chandigarh on or before the next date of hearing on September 25.

They took suo motu cognizance of the news report that appeared in The Tribune on Wednesday titled ’73 per cent water samples fail test in Muktsar’.

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).
