Chamba, February 20

The local Youth Congress has criticised the slow pace of construction work on the Parel bridge across the Ravi which connects the 154A national highway with Sidhpura, Haripur and Sarol areas.

Youth Congress leader Kapil Bhushan in a press note said the bridge had collapsed some years ago and the work was undertaken to construct a new bridge in its place.

He demanded speeding up the construction work on the bridge so that it could be completed as early as possible for the convenience of people residing along both sides of the Ravi.

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).
