or quite some time we have been receiving suggestions from
our readers in Himachal Pradesh that The Tribune should come out with a
daily Edition of the paper for the State. To meet this long-felt need
of the people, The Tribune has decided to launch a daily edition for
Himachal Pradesh.
The Himachal Plus weekly pullout, which The Tribune
launched last year, will continue as a part of The Tribune's desire to
serve the readers better.
The expanding network of correspondents The
Tribune has developed during the last few years will enable the
newspaper not only to report on the latest political developments in the
State, but also to share the people's hopes and joys and even sorrows.
It will particularly focus attention on the problems the people face
at the point where they come into contact with local authorities. Areas
like education, healthcare, jobs, housing, environment and governance
will receive special attention.
The Tribune will continue to give news
from the rest of the country and comments by its eminent columnists on
national and international developments.
The Tribune has a special
bond with Himachal Pradesh. We are sure the new edition will further
strengthen this readership.
The inaugural function will be held on
Thursday, March 15, 2007, at Shimla. The Chief Minister of the State, Mr
Virbhadra Singh, will be the Chief Guest at the launch.
