Mohali, December 14

In a bid to promote Punjab state and its art and culture, and earn revenue as well, the state government has proposed to set up a film city in the Mohali area.

The proposal has been made in the Punjab Government’s policy being drafted to promote art and cultural activities by facilitating filmmakers in the state.

Confirming the development, Lakhmir Singh, Additional Director, Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs, Punjab, said: “The film city will be established on the lines of film cities in Mumbai and Hyderabad, having facilities such as studios and dubbing centres. Entertainment facilities like Disneyland have also been proposed in the project.”

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).
