The Accountant General office in Shimla has contributed Rs 5,01,000 to the Disaster Relief Fund. Principal Accountant General (Accounts and Entitlement) Sushil Thakur presented the cheque to Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on behalf of the officers and employees of the office.

The CM highlighted the state government’’s efforts to ensure transparency and provide prompt public services. He emphasised the importance of digitalisation, with various public services being made available online.

The event was attended by MLA Harish Janartha, DAG Sandeep Dawar, president of the Civil Audit Association Ashish Kumar, General Secretary Akshay Chauhan and others.

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).
