Amritsar, May 23

Jatinder Kaur Sonia, president of the District Congress Committee (Urban), inspected different PDS outlets to oversee the distribution of ration to economically weaker sections.

She ensured that all commodities were weighed before being handed over to people. She said the government was offering 15-kg wheat per person and 3-kg cereals per family for free.

She asked depot holders to employ transparent methods and approach to distribute ration among the needy without any discrimination.

She said after the Narendra Modi government did not give adequate package to the state government, Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh ensured that there was enough grain for the economically weaker sections.

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).
