The construction of a four-laned 135-m steel bridge on Sirhind Canal with approaches has finally been completed in Ropar city. Rigorous load testing is going on for the past few days as the bridge awaits inauguration.

Rupnagar Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain said, “The Rs 52.77 crore bridge will be dedicated to public soon.” He said, “The bridge will reduce congestion and ease the traffic movement for people travelling from Chandigarh to Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar district. It also connects nearby villages with NH-344A.”

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).
