Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday claimed that under PM Narendra Modi’s 10-year tenure, there has been more development than in the 70 years of all previous governments since Independence. He made this claim while inaugurating several projects in Gujarat virtually.

He said that the Centre has increased the national highways network by 60 per cent in the last 10 years, adding that during Modi’s tenure, the length of four-lane highways has increased two and a half times. He said 36.5 km of highways are being constructed every day and that today, there are 157 airports in the country.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India now boasts of the second-largest road network, the third-largest Metro rail network and the fourth-largest rail network in the world, Shah said.

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).
