Members of the Amritsar Bar Association met Public Works Department Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO and raised the issue of defunct elevators.

Gurpreet Singh Panesar, president of the Amritsar Bar Association, said elevators at the judicial complex were lying defunct. He said the minister assured that two new elevators would be installed at the judicial complex. “This will improve infrastructure and ensure better facilities for lawyers,” said Panesar, adding that the minister agreed to convert electricity tariff for lawyer’ chambers from commercial to residential.

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).
