UNA, may 23

Chairman of the State finance Commission Satpal Singh Satti today inaugurated an irrigation scheme in Badehar panchayat of the Una Assembly segment. The scheme has been constructed at a cost of Rs 72 lakh and will irrigate 23 hectares of agriculture land.

Satti, while addressing a public gathering, said that the government had given top priority to increasing the area under irrigation.

Satti said the work on 111 lift irrigation schemes was in progress in the state under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana to irrigate 17,881 hectares. He added that Rs 253 crore had been earmarked for the purpose.

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).
