Hoshiarpur, September 17

The Soil and Water Conservation Department in association with the district administration is going to start a project, under which treated water would be supplied to farmers for irrigation purposes.

Under the project, which would cost around Rs11.4 crore, treated water would be released from the Sewage Treatment Plant, Piplanwala, which would cater to irrigation needs of farmers of seven villages — Piplanwala, Purhiran, Bassi Daulat Khan, Singriwala, Kurangana, Pandori Rukman and Maruli Brahmana. DC Apneet Riyait said the irrigation project had already been chalked out and shortly the work of underground drainage would be started. — OC

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).
