Chandigarh, April 22

UT Adviser Dharam Pal performed ‘bhumi pujan’ to start construction of 209 bus queue shelters across the city.

These bus queue shelters are designed to have more sustainability and durability along with maintaining the heritage character of the city.

These are to be constructed along various roads in sectors, villages and colonies within Chandigarh.

These bus queue shelters will be user-friendly and are also designed for differently abled persons having provision for tactile flooring and sitting space. These will also be equipped with real-time bus information system, which will be installed by the Transport Department, UT.

These bus queue shelters are likely to be completed within one year. —

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).
