Amritsar, December 30

The people of Punjab got a gift on New Year’s Eve as Amritsar-Delhi Vande Bharat Express train was flagged off on Saturday.

The train was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually from Ayodhya.

On this occasion, Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit was among those present at the Amritsar Railway Station.

Modi on Saturday inaugurated the redeveloped Ayodhya Railway Station and flagged off two Amrit Bharat and six Vande Bharat trains, some of them virtually.

Amritsar MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla, who was also present on this occasion, said the introduction of Vande Bharat train from here will facilitate various categories of people, including businessmen and traders.

The train also halted at Phagwara junction, where hundreds of BJP workers and locals were present at the railway station when it arrived.

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).
