Chandigarh, August 28

Under the Amrit Sarovar Yojana of the Centre, the Haryana Government has built 557 sarovars by August 15 this year.

The number has exceeded the projected number of 418.

Under the scheme, 75 Amrit Sarovars are to be built in every district.

This was told by Chief Secretary Sanjeev Kaushal at a review meeting of the Haryana Pond and Waste Water Management Authority.

Directing the officials concerned to expedite the restoration work of ponds, Kaushal said the works of Amrit Sarovar and all other ponds should be completed within the stipulated time.

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).
