Jammu, December 27

The Ladakh administration has started Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping of all taps and pipelines laid under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) in the UT. Water resources in the region are also being mapped.

The decision was taken in view of the future policy-making and expansion of infrastructure in the cold desert. The GIS mapping of assets allows the government to know the location of pipelines, taps and water resources across the region.

Public Health Engineering (PHE) Secretary Ajeet Kumar Sahu chaired a meeting to review the implementation of the JJM in the UT. During the meeting, he enquired about the status of GIS mapping of the pipelines and taps.

He also enquired whether or not all engineers had been trained in a suitable GIS software, which is a comprehensive support tool for water distribution networks.

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).
