The long-cherished dream of people will become a reality as electric trains on the Bathinda-Suratgarh rail section may run soon.

As part of the two-day inspection of the railway electrification between Bathinda and Suratgarh, RK Sharma, Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS), Western Circle, recently checked the work from Suratgarh to Birdhwal. He was accompanied by Divisional Railway Manager Rajiv Srivastava, Ambala Chief Project Director Satveer Singh Yadav and other senior officials of the North Western Railway.

The CRS too had held the trial run of a special train on electric traction from Birdhwal to Bathinda. The run was successful and the CRS is expecting to get the green signal for the operation of electric trains on this section. — OC

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).
