Nurpur, September 7

Former Kangra MP Rajan Sushant has demanded carving out of new districts in the state. In a statement issued here, he said the state government should fulfil the longstanding demand of granting the district status to Nurpur by incorporating Nurpur, Indora, Jawali and Fatehpur subdivisions into lower Kangra district.

Sushant justified the demand of the district status for Nurpur saying the population of Hamirpur and Una districts is 4.55 lakh and 5.21 lakh, respectively, whereas the population of four subdivisions in the Nurpur area is 4.38 lakh. — 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).
