Chamba, September 2

National Buildings Construction Corporation Limited has issued a letter of award (LoA) to a contractor for the construction of a new building of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Government Medical College and Hospital (PJNGMC&H) Phase-I, here on design, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis.

The total value of the tender is Rs 289.74 crore.

A 24-month deadline has been fixed for the execution of the work. However, the completion schedule would be duly approved by NBCCL.

Currently, the medical college is being run from the old premises of Akhandchandi Palace and the faculty and students have been residing at rented accommodation and hostels.

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).
