Kangra district administration has decided to cap the number of lok mitra kendras operating in the district and to penalise operators who are overcharging at the centres.

Kangra DC Nipun Jindal said, “The increase in number of lok mitra kendras was effecting the viability of existing units.” Soon a notification would be issued in this regard. he said. One centre would be allowed in 2 square km area in rural areas and 1 sq kilometre area in urban areas, he said.

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).
