Una, October 3

The inauguration of the Atal Tunnel by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday was telecast live in all five Assembly segments of the district for local party leaders and workers to watch. The arrangements for the live coverage of the event were made at the bus stand in Una, PWD rest house at Bangana in Kutlehar, mini-secretariat building at Haroli, Radha Krishna Temple at Vijapur in Chintpurni and the Rain Basera in Gagret.

Constructed at an altitude of 3,000 meters above the sea level at a cost of Rs 3,300 crore, the 9.02-km tunnel is also a manifestation of resolve of the government to stengthen infrastructure in border areas.

They were excited that the tunnel would not only provide all-weather connectivity but also shorten the distance by 46 km.

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).
