Mandi, July 11

Residents of Himachal Pradesh (HP), living in Mumbai, have urged Mandi Member of Parliament (MP) Kangana Ranaut to seek a direct train connectivity between Mumbai and the state from the Railways Minister.

Amit Rajput, a resident of HP living in Mumbai, has highlighted the absence of direct train connectivity between Mumbai and HP, which forces many travellers to disembark at the Chandigarh railway station, sometimes in the middle of the night, due to the unavailability of a direct train to the state.

He said the journey from Mumbai to Chandigarh took approximately 30 hours, followed by an additional nine to 10 hours by bus to reach various destinations in HP, posing many challenges to commuters.

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).
