The MLA of Shahpur Assembly constituency and deputy chief whip Kewal Pathania visited rain-affected areas in his constituency, inspecting damage in Naushahra, Baldi, Bodusarna and Kareeri.

Pathania inspected the collapsed bridge between Baldi and Dharmotha, noting the disruption in road connectivity. He informed Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu via video call, and the CM promptly announced Rs 10 lakh grant for the bridge’s reconstruction.

Pathania also visited Sarna village, where he met Prem Chand, whose house was destroyed in the rains, and provided Rs 11,000 in financial aid. He inspected land subsidence at Ghera bus stand, directing the Public Works Department to take immediate action.

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).
