Amritsar, August 13

A day after the demonstration by the BRTS employees, Amritsar MC Commissioner Harpreet Singh on Tuesday said that the Metro bus service was being operated on the BRTS route in the holy city before its suspension in July last year. Now, the service will be restored soon for which a decision is being taken by the Punjab Government.

MC Commissioner Harpreet Singh said the Metro bus service was a boon for daily commuters, especially students. The Metro bus service had employed hundreds of people. A project has been prepared and sent to the government by the Amritsar Municipal Corporation to run the bus service in a better manner. — TNS

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).
