Chandigarh, June 8

SDE Sukhpreet Singh and JE Naveen Kumar of the PWD posted in Bathinda have been suspended for alleged negligence in duty.

Officials said a purported video of alleged negligence in construction work being carried out under the duo’s supervision went viral, following which a probe was launched and the suspension orders issued. The action has been taken under Rule 4 of the Punjab Civil Services (Punishment and Appeal) Rules, 1970.

Public Works Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO said they had been attached with the office of the Chief Engineer (headquarters) in Patiala.

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).
