Jalandhar, February 6

DC Varinder Kumar Sharma and SSP Navjot Singh Mahal on Thursday reviewed the ongoing desilting work under the railway bridge in Gidderpindi on the downstream of Sutlej.

The Ministry of Railways was executing the work at an estimated cost of Rs 50 lakh with the support of renowned environmentalist Balbir Singh Seechewal.

The DC and the SSPsaid the work which was of immense significance would be completed within a fortnight.

They said 5 to 12 feet sand scattered over around 1,600 feet land at varied spots would be desilted from under the railway bridge at Gidderpindi for which special permission had been given by the Ministry of Railways.

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).
