Leh/Jammu, November 26

Councillors of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council of Leh and Kargil will now get Rs 60,000 as monthly allowances. With this, their monthly emoluments have been hiked to Rs 1.20 lakh, an official said.

A notification regarding it was issued by Ajeet Kumar Sahu, Commissioner-Secretary, General Administration Department, on Saturday.

“Councillors shall be getting additional monthly constituency allowance at Rs 40,000, besides office and telephone allowance at Rs 10,000 and medical allowance of Rs 10,000,” it stated.

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).
