Amritsar, September 9

Monthly power tariff of the Integrated Check Post (ICP) at Attari has reduced from Rs 8 lakh to Rs 3 lakh following switching over to solar power. The Land Ports Authority of India has added several people-friendly features to the ICP infrastructure.

Satish Dhyani, ICP manager, said the expenses of the ICP came down considerably after harnessing of the natural energy source. Two air-conditioned buses were pressed into service to ferry tourists from the ICP terminal to Attari. The shuttle bus service had been of tremendous help to tourists during the summer season, he said.

Besides, houses had been constructed for 500 BSF officials, he said. Separate accommodation had been provided for female staff, jawans, officers and other personnel, he added.

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).
