Kurukshetra, July 3

With the Assembly elections approaching, the Haryana Government, in an attempt to appease the sarpanches, announced a slew of standard operating procedures for them yesterday.

While addressing the panchayat representatives at the state-level ‘Panchayati Raj and Sarpanch Sammelan’, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announced that the sarpanches could now undertake development works up to Rs 21 lakh in their gram panchayats without e-tendering. Earlier, it was limited to Rs 5 lakh.

They can now claim travel expenses at the rate of Rs 16 per km while using their car or taxi for works related to the gram panchayat.

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).
