Chandigarh: The city railway station got its first railway consumption depot (RCD). It was pressed into service to meet the demand of fuel consumption of trains plying over the city station. “The depot has been set up by the BPCL and the project was incepted about a year and a half ago,” said JP Singh, Station Superintendent, Chandigarh station, Ambala Division of Northern Railways. “At present, we have six trains that originate from here. The RCD will make it easier for trains to fuel up here. Having a depot here will save time and energy,” he said. 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).
