Shimla, October 13

Urban Development Minister Suresh Bhardwaj flagged off a tempo traveller purchased under the Shimla Smart City Mission.

Bhardwaj said that 18 Innova taxis were already running from different places in the city and the procurement of 20 electric buses for the city was in the pipeline.

He said that the ‘Ride with Pride’ taxis ply on the city’s restricted roads. “Using these Innova taxis and tempo travellers, old people, women, children and differently-abled people will be able to directly reach The Ridge and the Mall Road,” he added.

The minister also inaugurated the newly constructed a bridge at the Vidhan Sabha complex.

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).
