UNA, AUGUST 30

Rural Development and Fisheries Minister Virender Kanwar today launched a campaign to introduce fish fingerlings into various reservoirs of the state. He kickstarted the campaign from Andauli village in Bangana where he poured a bucket containing fingerlings in the Gobind Sagar reservoir.

Kanwar said 6.64 lakh fingerlings of silver carp fish were introduced on which Rs 17 lakh was spent. He said fingerlings estimated at Rs 1.05 crore would be introduced into various lakes, including Chamera, Pong and Ranjit Sagar. Besides silver carp, some other fish species, rohu, katla and mrigul would also be introduced. He said the government had launched the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojna to bring a blue revolution by establishing a robust fisheries management framework. — OC

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).
