Shimla, September 16

Food and Civil Supplies Minister Rajinder Garg today said Himachal had attained saturation in providing LPG connections as every household in Himachal had been provided with a gas connection.

He said there was not a single house which did not have a LPG connection. “It is because of this that Himachal had become the first smokeless state of the country.

“We had said that every household will be provided free LPG connection under Mukhya Mantri Grahini Suvidha Yojna in 2018 and we have provided over 3.40 lakh gas connection,” said Garg.

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).
