Chandigarh, June 30

Taking another step towards e-governance, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today launched ‘paperless billing through SMS’ for Panchkula district.

The system was launched for water bill generation in Panchkula after the 54th meeting of the Water Supply and Sewerage Board held under the chairmanship of the Chief Minister here today. Within a month, the system will be started across the state.

With the new system, about 33,000 consumers can pay their water bills digitally.

Besides, the CM asked the officials concerned to conduct a survey of villages and identify areas where water pipelines are to be laid.

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).
