Chandigarh, February 11

Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, who is also chairman of Shri Mata Mansa Devi Shrine Board (SMMDSB), Panchkula, has approved Rs 1,114.78 lakh for construction of an old age home on the campus of the SMMDSB in Panchkula.

A spokesman said the old age home would be built by the Public Works (Buildings and Roads) Department in 36 months. The four-storey building will have 19 double-occupancy rooms, two cubicles with two dormitories, two lifts as well as stairs among other things.

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).
