Chandigarh, June 27

The Ministry of Home Affairs today gave the final nod to the proposal of the UT Administration for the externally-aided project of the MC for 24×7 water supply in Chandigarh with a financial outlay of Rs 576.57 crore for the 2022-27 period.

UT Adviser Dharam Pal said Chandigarh had signed an MoU with Agence Francaise de Developpement (AFD) in 2016 wherein the AFD had agreed to support among other sectors water supply, sanitation and waste management.

He said the primary goal of the project was to switch from intermittent supply to 24×7 supply. Among the other aims was water resource augmentation through leakage reduction. At present, work on the dedicated 24×7 water supply is on in Mani Majra. —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).
