Mandi, July 28

Senior Congress leader and former Health Minister Kaul Singh Thakur criticised the government for the hike in bus fare and sought its rollback with immediate effect.

He said in the Covid crisis, the people had lost their sources of income. Now, the state government was burdening them with the hike.

Kaul Singh said the people were expecting relief and the government should make efforts in this direction. He said the surge in Covid cases showed that the government had failed to control its spread. The government should prepare a strategy to check the spread of the virus. Kaul Singh also took part in an apple plantation programme.

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).
