Nurpur, March 22

Forest Minister Rakesh Pathania laid the foundation stone of a timber treatment plant on the premises of Himcast timber sale depot here on Monday. Presiding over the ceremony, Pathania said the trading activities of the state forest corporation were being expanded so that corporation could generate its income.

He said Rs 25 lakh was being spent on it and it would be functional in six months. “It will be the third plant in the state. Earlier such plants are already functioning at Baijnath and Hamirpur. Consumer will get the facility of treating the timber for pest control or safety from termite,” he said. — OC

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).
