Shimla, July 27

The state government has decided to maintain a Parivar Register in urban areas on the analogy of gram panchayats.

The Cabinet at a meeting yesterday approved the draft of the Municipal Corporations, Municipal Councils and Nagar Panchayats for the Maintenance of Parivar Register Rules, 2023.

“The objective of the government is set to be a milestone in accurate decision making for formulating plans or schemes for urban areas. It will provide vital data about families living in these regions, which will enable precise planning and better allocation of resources for various welfare schemes,” said Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu here today.

As of now, the Parivar Register is maintained only in gram panchayats. But now even people residing in urban areas will be able to avail of the benefits of government schemes.

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).
