Amritsar, October 16

A delegation of the Integrated Check Post Chambers of Commerce recently met Union Minister Ajay Kumar Mishra demanding replacing of the faulty full body truck scanner with a new one and allocating three more X-ray machines at the ICP Attari. At present, dry fruit, herbs and fresh fruit are being imported from Afghanistan.

Anil Mehra, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said the minister assured that their demand would be met soon. He elaborated that the full body truck scanner installed at the ICP some years ago never functioned smoothly since its installation. It developed snags which were not rectified.

He said there were three major godowns and there were one X-ray machine for each of these. One more X-ray machine was required for uninterrupted functioning, he added.

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).
