Public Works Department Minister Vikramaditya Singh called on Satish Kumar, Chairman and CEO, Indian Railway Board, in New Delhi today.

He apprised him that the construction of a flyover at the HP Vidhan Sabha junction and a viaduct along the Victory Tunnel was stalled due to delay in approvals from the Northern Railway.

The minister discussed the expansion of the railway network in the state, especially the Bhanupali- Bilaspur railway line. The CEO said that the process for the Bhanupali-Bilaspur railway line was already underway and would take its course.

Vikramaditya thanked the CEO for taking immediate action, as the delay was affecting the progress of the work being undertaken by the PWD under the Smart City Project, 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).
