Mohali, January 1

Students of the Quest Group of Institutions have developed a pedal-powered washing machine.

The machine, developed by Kamaljit Singh, Amandeep Singh and Tajbir Singh Chahal, has a capacity of 6 kg. It will save time and help save power.

Pedalling causes the drum of the washing machine rotate and at the same time electricity is generated and clothes are washed.

It will be helpful in rural areas. Besides, it will be a good tool for exercise as it works by pedalling.

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).
