Jalandhar, May 13

The Punjab Mandi Board on Wednesday began construction of approach roads to the Partappura vegetable and fruit market.

The work was started in the presence of the chairman of Market Committee, Jalandhar Cantonment, Harbhupinder Singh Samra; the District Mandi Officer, Davinder Singh Kainth, and other officials. Samra said the new fruit and vegetable market was made functional on May 6 to decongest the one at Maqsudan. The huge rush at the Maqsudan mandi was a cause of concern, he said.

The chairman said the new market would service farmers and people from Nakodar, Shahkot, Kapurthala, Jalandhar Cantonment and other adjoining areas.

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).
