Former BJP Rajya Sabha MP Avinash Rai Khanna met Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to discuss the issues of people of Punjab. Khanna apprised the minister of the demands of the public and requested him to start Jaijon-Jalandhar train soon.

Khanna told the Railway Minister that Jaijon railway station is a historical station which was built by the British in 1914. Jalandhar is an important station from the business point of view. Khanna said the train from Jaijon to Jalandhar discontinued during the Covid period. Since then, people of Jaijon and nearby areas were facing inconvenience.

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).
