Una, September 26

Chairman of the State Finance Commission Satpal Singh Satti today launched the work for drilling a deep bore drinking water tube well at Malahat village, near Una city. A sum of Rs 13.3 lakh would be spent on the project.

Satti said that once complete, the tube well would provide adequate drinking water to 1,700 households. In the Una constituency, the Jal Shakti Department had set a target of providing piped drinking water to 12,045 households. He added that Rs 5.73 crore was being spent on the work to be completed by the year end.

He said that 8,649 target households had already been covered in the last five months. Besides, five more tube wells would be installed at Rampur, Nangran, Rampur, Bhadolian Khurd and Jankaur villages in the Una segment in the coming months at a cost of Rs 77.37 lakh.

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).
