The industrial production in August recorded a growth of 4 per cent, down from 4.3 per cent in July, due to slow growth in manufacturing sector, according to the Index of Industrial Production released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation on Monday.

The growth rates of the three sectors — mining, manufacturing and electricity — for August were 6 per cent, 3.8 per cent and 4.1 per cent, respectively.

The data indicated that manufacturing output slowed to 3.8 per cent in August from 6 per cent in July, while electricity generation reached a five-month peak of 4.1 per cent, and mining output rebounded to 6 per cent after four months of decline.

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).
