Mandi, August 22

The Citizen Council, Mandi, has urged Anurag Thakur, Union Minister for Information & Broadcasting and Sports & Youth Affairs, to include Chhoti Kashi Mandi under the Smart City project.

OP Kapoor, president of Citizen Council, said, “Mandi is a city of archaeological importance. It has always been the centre of trade. This city has the capacity to fulfil the criteria needed for the Smart City project.”

“We urged the minister to instal ‘moksha’ furnaces under the green cremation system in the main cremation ground of the city. We requested him to construct a lake in the Beas river near Mandi to attract tourists and to connect the archaeological temples of the Ghats of Chhoti Kashi,” he added.

“Due to the construction of Pandoh dam in Mandi, the damage caused to the climate in the low-lying areas has not been compensated for to date,” he added. — TNS

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).
