Muktsar, January 15

The district administration has recommended departmental action against two panchayat secretaries for purchasing non-ISI mark interlock tiles under a Centrally-funded scheme in the year 2016-2017 in the Lambi area of the district.

Sandeep Maluja, an RTI activist from Malout, said, “I had lodged a complaint regarding the use of non-ISI mark interlock tiles.

“Thereafter, I pursued my complaint for nearly six years. Finally, I have got a reply from the office of ADC (Rural Development), Muktsar, that the action has been recommended against two panchayat secretaries — Resham Singh and Sandeep Kumar — for purchasing non-ISI mark interlock tiles and using these at Fatuhiwala, Dhani Telianwali and Bhitiwala villages.”

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).
