Dera Bassi, January 18

The Punjab Government was committed to provide 24-hour power supply to the people of the state, said Patiala MP Preneet Kaur after inaugurating 66-kV sub-station at Haripur Kuran village here.

Preneet said the new grid had been so designed that the capacity could be extended to meet the future demand of the area.

She said the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) had spent about Rs 5 crore on the construction of the new sub-station.

Preneet said with the commissioning of this sub-station, villages of Dera Bassi such as Jawaharpur, Haripur Kuran, Dandrala, Mukandpur, Mahiwala would get benefits of uninterrupted power supply.

Elaborating on the development works in Dera Bassi, she said her primary focus was to improve basic facilities in government schools.

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).
