Targeting Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur, Kaul Singh said, “The CM could not even ask for budget for his dream project — the proposed international airport in Mandi. He could not even demand the Himalayan regiment.”

Kaul Singh said, “The PM lied to the people of Himachal that he had sanctioned four medical colleges for the state. All these colleges had been approved during the tenure of the previous UPA government by then Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad.” — TNS

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).
