Chandigarh, August 26

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has submitted a resolution in the Vidhan Sabha, seeking directions to the Punjab Government to take all necessary legal, constitutional and political measures to ensure the implementation of the nationally and internationally accepted riparian principle with regard to the riverwaters prior to the consideration of any question relating to the construction of the SYL canal.

The resolution that was submitted with the Vidhan Sabha secretariat on Tuesday evening as a motion under Rule 77 of the Rules of Procedure emphasises that all riverwater disputes in the country as well as at the international level had been decided solely on the basis of the riparian principle. — 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).
