The National Board for Wildlife (NBWL) has recommended proposals to provide drinking water in Bihar, Maharashtra and Jammu and Kashmir, Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav said on Friday.

The Standing Committee of NBWL, in its 69th meeting, also recommended proposals to provide road connectivity to remote villages in Jammu and Kashmir under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana with mitigation measures, he said.

“Happy to announce that the Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife in its 69th meeting today recommended potable water supply proposals in Bihar, Maharashtra and Jammu and Kashmir to overcome the difficulty faced by the local people, pilgrims and tourists,” the minister tweeted.

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).
