Shimla, March 23

Industries Minister Bikram Singh presided over the 188th meeting of Himachal Pradesh Handloom and Handicrafts Corporation here today. He said Union Minister of Commerce, Industry, Food and Public Distribution Piyush Goyal had announced to open a Weaver Service Centre during his stay in Kullu, for which suitable land would be identified soon.

Bikram Singh said the Himachal Emporium in New Delhi is a mirror of the state’s culture and assured to take up the matter regarding its restoration at the earliest. He also appreciated the Corporation for earning operating profit of Rs 96 lakh despite the pandemic.

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).
