Chamba, November 27

Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Limited (HPSEBL) has issued orders to cut temporarily power connections of 563 defaulters, who come under the Chamba electrical subdivision number-I.

An amount of around Rs 35 lakh is pending as power bills. According to an official communiqué of the HPSEBL management issued here said the field staff had started the process of disconnecting the connections of the defaulters in the areas falling in and around Chamba.

Now, they would have to pay an additional fee of Rs 250 along with the pending bill amount for the restoration of power reconnection within 15 days, the communiqué added. Even after this, if the defaulters fail to deposit the pending bill, action would be taken, it read.

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).
