Bathinda, April 2

The Bathinda Municipal Corporation (BMC) will build its first botanical garden to further develop the green belt in the city. It will be built on about 7.5 acre of vacant land behind Blue Fox and Municipal Colony.

A butterfly park and glass house will also be constructed inside this garden. The design of this entire garden will be finalised after a design competition between landscape architects. The architect whose design will be the best will get a cash prize of Rs 5 lakh.

The design competition has been approved in the General House meeting held on March 20. The budget for the project will be prepared after the design is finalised.

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).
