The Haryana Government has set the time limit for issuing temporary power connections, new connections or additional load under the Right to Service Act, for low tension (LT) supply, excluding the agriculture pumping (AP) category.

Chief Secretary Vivek Joshi has issued a notification to this effect.

Now, temporary connections, new connections or additional load will be issued within three days in metropolitan areas, seven days in other municipal areas and 15 days in rural areas from the receipt of complete applications, fees and documents.

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).
