Chandigarh, August 18

CM Manohar Lal Khattar today approved to send the preliminary report of the Hathnikund Dam on the Yammuna, which has been prepared by the state Irrigation and Water Resources Department, to the Central Water Commission (CWC). The report will also be submitted to five states — Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Delhi.

Earlier, the CM took a meeting of the officials working on the dam. He said for better water management and flood control, the government has decided to build this dam.

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).
