Haryana Chief Secretary Sanjeev Kaushal today emphasised that the primary focus of the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) 2.0 was on making cities water-secure and self-subsistent through circular economy of water.

He exhorted the officials concerned to lay emphasis on achieving all components of the scheme like universal coverage of water supply, sewerage, seepage management and recycling of treated used water, rejuvenation of water bodies and creation of green spaces.

Kaushal reviewed the progress report on AMRUT 1.0 wherein 18 urban local bodies in 20 towns, having a population of more than one lakh, had been covered.

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).
