Amritsar, January 3

The Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture Meenakshi Lekhi visited the Regional Passport Office (RPO) in Amritsar. Incidentally, the new passport officer Shamsher Bahadur Singh also took over the charge today.

She observed the functioning of the office and also spoke to the applicants, listened to their grievances and tried to resolve the issues in collaboration with the officials.

She said the focus was to streamline the process of passport related services and get it free from the illegal touts who play the spoilsport. “Our aim was to make the whole process efficient, transparent and hassle-free for the beneficiaries and our teams were working in this direction,” she said.

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).
