Phagwara, October 2

As many as 800 landline telephones of the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) have been lying dead for the past 10 days. The cables of these phones, which are 10-feet underground, were damaged by sewerage water.

Sub divisional officer (phones) Baldev Singh said employees of the BSNL were making all efforts to repair the damaged cables. It would take a few more days to complete the repair work, he added. Meanwhile, the BSNL subscribers are facing harassment as they are not able to make phone calls and access Internet.

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).
