Chandigarh, May 21

The state government has enhanced the allowance of dwarfs and eunuchs to Rs 2,750 per month and this will be applicable from April 1.

Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, Om Prakash Yadav said to get the allowance under both these schemes, the person should be a domicile of Haryana and should be at least 18 years. Under the dwarf allowance, the height of males should be 3 feet 8 inches and the height of females 3 feet 3 or less. The applicant will also have to produce a certificate from the Civil Surgeon for availing the allowance.

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).
