Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Thursday visited Himachal Niketan at Dwarka, New Delhi, and reviewed the progress of the building, which is nearing completion.

Sukhu took stock of the ongoing construction and directed officials to complete the remaining works at the earliest so that the facility could be dedicated to the people of Himachal Pradesh soon.

He said Himachal Niketan would provide comfortable and quality accommodation to people from the state visiting Delhi, particularly for medical treatment and educational purposes. The facility would offer almost four-star category amenities and serve as an important support system for Himachalis visiting the national capital, he added.

Built at an estimated cost of around Rs 190 crore, Himachal Niketan will have 107 rooms, besides a restaurant, banquet hall, two multipurpose halls, a meeting hall and student dormitories.

The facility will also have adequate parking, landscaped gardens, EV charging stations and other modern amenities.

The Chief Minister said the project was of significant importance for the people of the state and directed officials to ensure that the remaining works were completed within the stipulated timeframe without compromising on quality.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
