A significant Rs 36-crore project was sanctioned to install rooftop solar power plants on 290 government buildings across the state. “This initiative will promote solar energy and reduce electricity costs,” said the Chief Minister, adding that the state government is actively implementing the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. Under this scheme, the Central Government provides a subsidy of Rs 60,000, while the state government contributes Rs 50,000 for rooftop solar panels of up to 2 kW.

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).
