Mohali district has become eligible for the PM E-Bus Sewa Scheme, Deputy Commissioner (DC) Komal Mittal announced during a meeting with stakeholders to discuss the proposed route plan. Around 100 electric buses (EVs) will operate on eight routes covering distances between 17 km and 32 km, with a frequency of one bus every 15 minutes.

The areas of Kharar, Lalru, Banur and Nayagaon will be among the main beneficiaries.

The Deputy Commissioner stated that the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India, issued an amendment to the PM E-Bus Sewa Scheme guidelines on April 15. As per the revised guidelines, Mohali has now qualified to receive 100 electric buses under the cluster category.

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).
