Pangi (Chamba), September 23

Technical Education and Tribal Development Minister Dr Ram Lal Markanda has directed Forest Department officials to give priority to increase the yield of ‘thangi’ (hazelnut) and ‘chilgoza’ (pine nuts) considering the potential of their cultivation in the Pangi valley of Chamba district.

The minister issued these instructions while presiding over a meeting of the project advisory committee at Killar in the Pangi valley.

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).
