Shimla, June 24

The SJVN corporate headquarters has been awarded four stars by Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment “GRIHA” Council.

SJVN chairman Nand Lal Sharma said the Shakti Sadan was the first building in the state to get this rating. He added the Sadan had been designed on the green building concept. With a built up area of 15,200 sq mt to accommodate over 500 employees, the building has many unique features, including 100 KW solar energy system and 40 KW solar water heating system for energy needs.

“A sewage treatment plant with a capacity to recycle 90,000 litres of waste water has also been installed in the building,” he said.

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).
