Power Minister Ranjit Singh has said the trend of rural consumers towards the ‘Mhara Gaon Jagmag Gaon’ scheme is increasing with each passing day.

“Power corporations have given a Holi gift by including 23 more villages in the scheme. With this, round-the-clock power supply will be ensured in 5,592 villages.”

On January 26 this year, 82 new villages were included in the scheme, Ranjit added.

He said of these 23 villages, seven are of Sonepat, four each of Rohtak and Jhajjar, and eight villages of Panipat district. —

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).
