Una, June 7

The Rural Development Department has shortlisted 11 families in Una development block for a low-cost housing scheme under the Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana.

An amount of Rs 1.4 lakh will be given to each family for the construction of a brick masonry house comprising at least one room, a kitchen and a toilet.

Una Block Development Officer Yash Pal said the beneficiaries were selected on the basis of a detailed survey that included field visits, checking revenue records and social screening.

Yash Pal said the heads of the shortlisted families were Nirmala Devi from Barnoh; Shashi Kiran from Charatgarh; Anita Kumari from Dathwara; Poonam from Takka; Kanta Devi from Badoli; Shareefa from Lower Basal; Promila Devi from Chalola; Bhagwati from Lamlehra; Soma from Batuhi; Lajya Devi from Jakhera and Parvati from Bhatoli.

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).
