The state government today issued a notification to shift the office of the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (HPTDC) from Shimla to Dharamsala. The Managing Director of the HPTDC, Rajeev Kumar, formally took charge at the new office at Kashmir House in Dharamsala. The government has declared Kangra as the tourism capital of the state and as such shifted the office of the HPTDC from Shimla to Dharamsala.

The shifting of the offices from the state capital to other parts of the state is also aimed at decongesting Shimla, which is facing urban and traffic congestion.

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).
