Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania today said the state government had approved the action plan for power supply works costing Rs 18 crore in the Bhattiyat Assembly constituency of Chamba district.

He said this while presiding over a meeting at Chowari to review development schemes and the damage caused due to natural calamities during the ongoing monsoon season.

Natural calamities caused a loss of Rs 25.88 crore to the PWD in Bhattiyat. A sum of Rs 1.38 crore had been released by the govt for the restoration of roads, he added.

Drinking water and irrigation schemes of the Jal Shakti Department suffered a loss of Rs 33.38 crore, he said. The affected schemes had been restored temporarily, he added.

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).
