Dera Bassi, October 15

Former Jammu and Kashmir Governor NN Vohra unveiled the bust of entrepreneur Hans Raj Gupta at an event here today.

Gupta, who was the Personal Secretary to Vohra in 1969, rose to the post of Deputy Labour Commissioner before becoming a successful entrepreneur.

The former Governor, who faced hardships in reaching the venue due to the poor condition of the Dera Bassi-Barwala road, expressed dismay at the state of affairs.

On being questioned, Dera Bassi MLA Kuljit Randhawa told Vohra that tenders for the repair of the road had been invited and work would start soon.

Those present at the event included Vijay Mittal, president of the local industries association, and Arun Gupta and Surinder Garg, former presidents of the association.

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).
