Amritsar, May 8

Residents of villages using the Kukrawala-Bhittewad road stretch have asked the Mandi Board to complete work on the pavement of the road, which had earlier been stopped midway.

The residents said the stretch falls under the purview of the Punjab Mandi Board and it had earlier started the process for the construction of the road. Dhanwant Singh Khatraikalan of the Kirti Kisan Union (Punjab), who was part of the delegation that met the XEN, Mandi Board, Raman Kumar, said, “The Mandi Board had earlier put up a layer of gravel and stones on the stretch. After this, the work was stopped and it has not been started again.”

They threatened that in case the officials failed to fulfil their promise, the residents would be forced to hold a protest.

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).
