Shimla, March 16

Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said today the state government would prepare a proposal for regularising government buildings and roads constructed without FCA/FRA permissions.

He was responding to a private member resolution moved by Ghumarwin MLA Rajesh Dharmani. The MLA had urged the government to frame a policy for approving buildings and roads built without FCA/ FRA approvals. Sukhu, however, reminded the House that only the Central Government could approve FCA/FRA-related matters.

Dharmani said several schools buildings, playgrounds, community halls, anganwari centres and dispensaries could not be upgraded because the land was registered in the name of the Forest Department. Sukhu said his government had already started the process to simplify and speed up the FCA/FRA approval process.

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).
