Chandigarh, May 19

Haryana Power and Jails Minister Ranjit Singh has said that a high-security jail would be set up at Rohtak at the cost of Rs 76 crore. It would have 50 jammers, a dog squad, deep earth metal detectors and boundary wall check posts. Besides, a new open jail would be set up at Karnal. “All existing 11 jails will have petrol pumps which will be manned by inmates having good conduct,” he said.

Ranjit Singh said that despite the heatwave, there were no power cuts and the demand for electricity was met.

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).
