To keep tabs on the movement of offenders at tourist hotspots Kaza and Tabo in tribal district Lahaul and Spiti, the state government is spending Rs 7.50 lakh under Special Area Development Authority (SADA) to equip both these places with CCTV cameras as soon as possible.

Technical Education Minister Ram Lal Markanda told The Tribune that under SADA, the state government would spend Rs 4.50 lakh to equip the Kaza market area with CCTV camera facility. Tabo monastery, the famous tourist place in Spiti valley, would be equipped with CCTV cameras at a cost of Rs 3 lakh.

He said the step would help the police keep a tab on the movement of offenders in the area and nab them quickly. “To keep the area neat and clean, dustbins too would be set up in Kaza market,” he added.

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).
