Phagwara, November 25

Two damaged electric poles have been lying on the side of a road in Hargobind Nagar in Phagwara.

Vishwamitra, a resident, claimed that the two damaged poles have been lying on the roadside since 2014, but PSPCL officials have never bothered to remove the poles from the roadside. When contacted for a comment, Phagwara PSPCL XEN Hardip Singh said, “How is it possible that the electric poles have been lying on the roadside for the past eight years, and no PSPCL official ever bothered to remove them.” He, however, also contended that the residents are not bothered by the issue. He also pointed out that he had assumed charge as the Phagwara XEN only a few days back.

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).
