Hamirpur, May 26

A trench, dug by the IPH Department for laying a pipeline on the village road, is posing trouble for Balh villagers near here.

It is the only link road that connects the village to the main road leading to the town. Many vehicles get stuck in the trench.

Rajendra Kumar, a villager, says despite repeated requests to the contractor, he did not bother to fill the trench. Many women and children have fallen in it and received injuries.

Rakesh Thakur, Executive Engineer, IPH, says that the contractor will be directed to fill the trench at the earliest.

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).
