Shimla, January 6

Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur today launched the PDS ration card portability and fortified wheat flour scheme of the state civil supplies and consumer affairs department for the consumers of the state.

With the launch of the scheme, consumers would be able to purchase essential commodities from any fair price shop in the state. In addition to this, fortified wheat flour would be provided to the consumers, which would have all essential nutrients such as iron, folic acid and vitamin B12. Presiding over a prize-distribution function of a mini marathon organised by the Himachal Pradesh Secretariat Services Sports Control Board here today, Thakur thanked the employees and officers of the Secretariat for organising the marathon on the occasion of his birthday. — 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).
