New Delhi, March 20

Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs today said it had not received any proposal from Haryana Government to extend the metro rail project from Gurugram to Bawal, Dwarka to Badsa, Kundli to Sonepat and Bahadurgarh to Rohtak in the past five years.

The ministry submitted in a reply to a question raised by Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda in the Rajya Sabha.

“No funds have been allocated by the Union Government for the extension of the Delhi Metro in the state of Haryana during the last five years including the current financial year 2022-23 and for next fiscal 2023-24,” the ministry reply read.

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).
