Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Vikramaditya Singh today said that a budget of Rs 19 crore had been approved for the widening of the Rohru-Chirgaon road. “People have been demanding the widening and upgrade of the road for a long time. Keeping this in mind, the state government will widen the road to ease traffic and tourists coming here will get better facilities,” he added.

The minister, while addressing a school function at Rohru, said that the government was making a new scheme with the help of the Central Government for villages that were yet not linked with a road. “Such villages will be connected to roads in the next two years. As soon as the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Sadak Yojana Phase-4 starts in the state, the work to connect these villages to roads will be started,” he added.

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).
