Chandigarh, March 27

Senior Akali leader Daljit Cheema today asked the Centre to reconsider its decision to impose central government rules on the employees of Chandigarh, saying it went against the spirit of the Punjab Reorganisation Act.

“This means denial of right of Capital to Punjab forever. After changes in BBMB rules, this is another big blow to the rights of Punjab,” he said. Congress MLA Sukhpal Khaira said it was a “dictatorial” decision of the BJP government to usurp the rights of Punjab over control of Chandigarh. “It belongs to Punjab and this unilateral decision is not only a direct attack on federalism, but also on Punjab’s share of 60 per cent control over the UT,” said Khaira. —

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).
