Hamirpur, May 3

The government has proposed to construct a heliport at Darla village in Sujanpur constituency. It is learnt that the state Tourism Department has released a sum of Rs 2 crore to begin construction of the heliport on a hill on the banks of the Beas. Sources revealed that the Public Works Department had submitted a proposal of Rs 5 crore for the construction of the helipad.

Arvind Lakhanpal, Executive Engineer of the Public Works Department at Tauni Devi, said, “An amount of Rs 2 crore has been received from the Director, Tourism, for construction of the helipad. The tendering process for the construction of the helipad is under way.”

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).
