Punjab Governor and UT Administrator VP Singh Badnore will open the underpass connecting Rose Garden with Sector 17 on Wednesday.

The underpass will allow visitors to travel directly between Rose Garden and Sector 17 without crossing Jan Marg, one of the busiest roads in the city.

COST OF CONSTRUCTION
Rs 9 crore

The underpass, constructed as part of the rejuvenation plan for Sector 17, was approved by the UT Administration to connect Sector 17 with Rose Garden in 2017.

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).
