Mandi, May 25

Chief Secretary Prabodh Saxena has directed the Mandi Deputy Commissioner to file within two weeks a status report as regards the progress made in connection with setting up the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) headquarters at Mandi, besides evaluating the 12 objections raised under the Forest Conservation Act (FCA).

The Chief Secretary presided over a meeting in this regard through video-conferencing from Shimla yesterday.

“The NDRF shall prepare a layout plan for the 27.57-hectare project in the light of an objection by the authorities concerned to reduce the land requirement by one hectare,” he directed the NDRF officials.

“The Mandi DC should identify non-forest land near the proposed NDRF HQ site in Mandi,” the Chief Secretary 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).
