Hamirpur, June 8

Deputy Commissioner Hemraj Bairwa yesterday said that the district library would have more facilities and a canteen soon. He visited the library and reviewed the improvement work in progress there.

He said that to accommodate the increased number of visitors, library’s sitting space would be increased and also once the canteen services start, the visitors would not have to go anywhere else to eat. He added that the empty basement and top floor area would be used to increase the sitting space.

The library building was constructed two years ago at a cost of more than Rs 2.5 crore and could accommodate about 100 persons. The new space created would increase library’s capacity by 100 more seats.

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).
