Deputy Commissioner Apoorv Devgan stated a total of Rs 280.52 crore has been spent under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in the Mandi district so far. The highest expenditure was recorded in the Balichowki development block with Rs 33.16 lakh, followed by Gohar with Rs 30.55 lakh, Dharmpur with Rs 30.50 lakh, Mandi Sadar with Rs 29.53 lakh, and Seraj with Rs 29.14 lakh. The DC stated MGNREGA was playing a vital role in providing employment opportunities to rural residents, thereby enhancing their livelihoods and strengthening the local economy.

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).
