UNA, SEPTEMBER 10

Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri today said that it was sad that the state was not getting due assistance from the Central Government to mitigate sufferings.

Agnihotri, in a press note issued here, said that the state had suffered a loss of over Rs 12,000 crore and the Central Government should provide a special relief package so that the affected people could be rehabilitated and public infrastructure restored. He urged the Centre to declare the rain disaster as a national disaster.

He claimed that the state government was doing its best within its resources. The damaged drinking water schemes and power installations had been repaired and road connectivity restored. People, who lost their homes, were being relocated.

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).
