Amritsar, January 11

Power Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO inaugurated the work of installing streets lights on the 8-km-long stretch from the Guru Nanak Dev University bypass road to the historic Ram Tirath shrine on Wednesday.

Speaking on the occasion, the minister said a total of 616 LED street lights would be installed on 308 poles on the stretch to facilitate commuters at night. The project would be completed at a cost of Rs 1.90 crore. The minister claimed that the project would be completed within two months.

The Power Minister said free power of up to 600 units per household had benefited 90 per cent of the consumers in the state during the current month as they had received zero electricity bills.

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).
