Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu today expressed gratitude to the Chief Minister of Tripura, Manik Saha, for extending a financial help of Rs 5 crore towards the State Disaster Relief Fund.

He said that the support would go a long way in providing relief to those affected by the rain disaster during this hour of distress. He added that the state government was trying to provide all possible help along with restoring damaged infrastructure like roads and bridges from its own limited resources.

Prior to this, the Assam Government had announced Rs 5 crore contribution towards the State Disaster Relief Fund. Besides, the Chief Ministers of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh had sent several truckloads of relief material for the disaster-affected families in Himachal.

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).
