In a major step toward strengthening social security and expanding opportunities for vulnerable women, the state government has sanctioned Rs 36 lakh for constructing houses for 12 eligible beneficiaries under the Chief Minister Widow and Single Woman Housing Scheme. Each woman will receive Rs 3 lakh to help her secure a safe, permanent home.

During his recent visit to Karsog, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu distributed the first instalment of Rs 1.5 lakh to each beneficiary, marking a significant milestone in the rollout of the scheme.

According to a government spokesperson, the scheme supports women in difficult circumstances.

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).
