Jalandhar, February 26

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched railway infrastructure projects, including redevelopment of 534 railway stations, including three in Punjab—Jalandhar, Beas and Moga.

Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit praised the efforts of Modi for bringing in development on a war footing.

With projects worth Rs 23,810 crore already under way in Punjab, the governor said work on 30 projects was slated to commence soon.

He hailed the life-changing experience of travelling by the Vande Bharat Express, describing it as eye-opening.

Having served as governor in various states, including Meghalaya, Assam and Tamil Nadu, the governor said that there was no place like Punjab.

He said PM Modi is fully dedicated to the farmers and would do everything for their benefit.

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).
