Loan waiver certificates worth Rs 54.3 lakh were distributed among 51 SC borrowers from localities falling under the Payal, Amargarh and Malerkotla Assembly segments.

Legislators Jaswant Singh Gajjan Majra, Manwinder Singh Giaspura and Mohammad Jamil-ur-Rahman distributed certificates at various functions held under supervision of senior functionaries of Punjab Scheduled Castes Land Development and Finance Corporation on Saturday. As many as 28 beneficiaries hailed from the Payal segment, 10 from Amargarh and three were from Malerkotla. The segment-wise waived amounts were Rs 40.45 lakh in Payal, Rs 11.18 lakh in Amargarh and Rs 2. 66 lakh in Malerkotla.

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).
