The state government will introduce shikaras in the Gobind Sagar Lake here to boost tourism, an official statement said on Tuesday.

The first cruiser boat would also be introduced in the lake as part of an initiative to promote tourism. Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu would inaugurate water sports activities here in the third week of October. Cruise, jet skies, motorboats and rescue boats had already arrived in Bilaspur and preparations regarding the cruise were being completed, officials said.

A technical team of the Tourism Department had inspected the equipment at Mandi Bharari on Saturday last. Tourists would be able to enjoy a shikara ride in the lake on the lines of the Dal Lake in Srinagar.

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).
