Bharmour, June 11

Local MLA Jia Lal Kapoor today inaugurated a bridge constructed at a cost of Rs 2.57 crore on the Ravi river, which links villages in remote Lech panchayat of the Bharmour Assembly constituency of Chamba district with the national highway.

Kapoor, while addressing a public meeting later, said that the bridge over the Ravi would link Lech panchayat with the Bharmour-Chamba national highway. The National Bank for Agriculture And Rural Development (NABARD) had funded the construction of the bridge, he added.

He said that 95 per cent people in Sindhua village of Lech panchayat are Sikhs. He added that the work to further link the village would be started soon.

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).
