Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate 103 Amrit Stations through video-conference during an event in Rajasthan’s Bikaner on Thursday.

These include Karnataka’s five railway stations — Munirabad, Bagalkot, Gadag, Gokak Road and Dharwad. These 103 Amrit Stations, situated in 86 districts across 18 states and union territories, have been developed at a cost of over Rs 1,100 crore.

More than 1,300 stations are being redeveloped with modern facilities, designed to reflect regional architecture and enhance passenger amenities under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme (ABSS).

The redeveloped Amrit Stations across India integrate modern infrastructure with cultural heritage, passenger-centric amenities, including those for Divyangjan and sustainable practices to enhance the travel experience.

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).
