Gurugram, January 30

In what promises to reduce travel time from Delhi to Jaipur to just two hours, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Gurugram-Dausa stretch of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway on February 4.

Currently, the Jaipur-Delhi travel via Gurugram takes around 4-5 hours, a distance of 250 km. Union Minister for Road Transport and Highway Nitin Gadkari tweeted about the inauguration, calling it “Pragati ka Highway”.

The Sohna (Gurugram)-Dausa (Rajasthan) stretch is the first leg of the New Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. At nearly 1,390 km, Delhi-Mumbai Expressway will be India’s longest expressway and will reduce travel time between Delhi and Mumbai from 24 to 12 hours.

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).
