Srinagar, February 3

Ladakh has initiated the process to construct a forest watchtower at the world-famous Tso Kar Lake to facilitate forest officials to patrol and keep watch over the lake.

The Leh administration has decided to build a double-decked designed forest watchtower over the Tso Kar lake, which has been declared a ‘Ramsar site’. The raising of forest watchtowers in all the protected areas has been put on priority by the Ladakh administration.

Pawan Kotwal, Principal Secretary, Forest, Ecology and Environment, stressed that the forest watchtower should not only fulfil its purpose but the architecture too should be equally attractive and utilitarian. Kotwal asked the regional wildlife warden to identify a notable location for the watchtower. —

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).
