Amritsar, July 3

Public Works Minister Vijay Inder Singla on Friday said that following the approval of Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, the state government has decided to name Raiya to Khadoor Sahib road after former MLA shaheed Sant Singh Lidhar who laid his life to bring Punjab back on a peaceful track. Notably, Sant Singh Lidhar had served as a two time member of Punjab Vidhan Sabha from Beas constituency and he was a noted social worker of the area. Singla said the Punjab Government was committed to providing better road connectivity to people and efforts would be made to achieve the set targets. — TNS

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).
