Jammu, August 14

The J&K government has approved an ex gratia of Rs 25 lakh for the kin of district development council (DDC) chairmen, vice-chairmen and members in case of death due to terrorism.

Earlier, the government had approved similar relief for all elected block development council (BDC) chairmen, sarpanches, panches and the members of the municipal bodies in the Union Territory.

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).
