Sports Minister Yadvinder Goma and Deputy Chief Whip in the Assembly Kewal Singh Pathania yesterday welcomed the state government’s decision to shift some government offices from Shimla to Kangra. They said that the Cabinet had approved the relocation of the Wildlife Wing of the Forest Department from Shimla to the CPD KFW Project Office building in Dharamsala. Besides, the headquarters of the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (HPTDC) would also be moved from Shimla to Dharamsala. “The relocation of these offices will help ease congestion in Shimla and support balanced development in Kangra,” they added.

They said that the government had launched several initiatives for the development of Kangra as the tourism capital of the state.

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).
