Chandigarh, August 26

After several failed attempts, the UT Engineering Department has decided to construct 209 new bus queue shelters. An official said the department would also renovate nearly 200 old bus queue shelters.

The project is likely to cost nearly Rs13 crore. Earlier, the department had made several efforts for the construction and renovation of bus queue shelters. The successful bidder was to construct, repair and maintain the shelters. The firm could generate revenue through selling advertisement space there. The company has to bear the construction cost and share the advertisement revenue with the Administration. — TNS

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).
