The Northern Railway has approved an overbridge at the Dhakoli level crossing at an estimated cost of Rs 65 crore, local BJP leader Manpreet Singh Bunny Sandhu said. The design of the underpass is being prepared after which tenders would be floated, he added. Dhakoli resident KR Sharma said the addition would save time and money, adding, "It will benefit local residents. Besides giving clear way to emergency vehicles, it will also help reduce the risk of mishaps considerably," he added.

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).
