Amritsar, April 28

Residents of Ramdas, a town located near the International Border with Pakistan, were overjoyed as the town was recently elevated to an administrative block. The announcement was made by Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal, Minister of Rural Development and Panchayat, after it was decided in a meeting of the Punjab cabinet.

With this development, people in the area will no longer have to travel to Ajnala for their official work, saving them time and transportation costs.

As many as 75 Gram Panchayats will be included in the Ramdas administrative block, with villages such as Adaya Ramdas, Bauli Ramdas, Kot Gurbakhs, Kotli Shahbib, Machhiwala, Bagwanpura, Mehmed Mandirawala, Abadi Chandigarh, Killa and Kuralia among them.

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).
