Chandigarh, October 1

As part of speed-raising efforts in yards of the Kalka-Shimla heritage section (from 15 kmph to 25 kmph), three turnouts will be replaced at Taksal, Gumman and Kumarhatti stations, said Divisional Railway Manager Gurinder Mohan Singh.

“Today, we have replaced the third turnout at Taksal station completing the job well before the deadline of October 10, assigned by the general manager of the division,” he said. “Speed shall be raised after getting sanction of the CRS for which papers have been submitted to the Headquarters,” he added.

The three turnouts have been fabricated at Kathua by Jalandhar Bridge Workshop. These have been installed at Taksal, Gumman and Kumarhatti yards, said Hari Mohan, IRTS, Sr DCM, Coaching, Ambala Division.

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).
