Chairman of the Improvement Trust Hoshiarpur, Gurvinder Singh Pabla, said many allottees and transferees in various trust schemes have yet to fully pay the sale price of their plots, complete construction or pay the non-construction fee on time.

In light of this, the Local Government Department of Punjab has introduced a One-Time Settlement (OTS) scheme to ease the process for the public. This scheme allows allottees and transferees to clear 50 per cent of the total outstanding amount, including the sale price balance and non-construction fee, as per government guidelines.

Pabla said senior citizen women would be given special consideration under this scheme. He said they may get their map approved and receive construction permissions by depositing only 25 per cent of the outstanding amount, provided they do so by December 31.

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).
