Panchkula, September 2

The Haryana Government today announced an initial relief of Rs 25,000 each to the affected shopkeepers.

Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, who met shopkeepers affected by the fire, expressed grief at the loss of property and said the government would extend all help to the shopkeepers.

He promised financial assistance to the affected shopkeepers through the Mukhyamantri Vyapari Kshatipurti Beema Yojana. The assistance would be given after assessing the damage. Khattar said under the scheme, insurance was provided to traders in case of loss of property. Further, financial assistance was provided in case of theft of goods and loss due to fire, etc.

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).
