Highlighting Kharar’s rapid growth as a regional educational and economic centre, Member of Parliament Satnam Singh Sandhu has urged the Union Minister of Railways, Ashwini Vaishnaw, to upgrade railway services at the Kharar Railway Station.

In a memorandum, Sandhu requested stoppage of pilgrimage trains and the establishment of a railway reservation counter at the station.

He emphasised that Kharar, now home to two private universities and seven colleges, sees a large influx of students from across India. Despite its growing significance and considerable ticket revenue, the station lacks a dedicated reservation counter.

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).
