Construction of a cable-stayed bridge across Chambal river on the Kota bypass on the NH-76 of East-West corridor in Rajasthan has been completed.

In a series of tweets, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari said the 1.4-km-long cable stayed bridge across Chambal had been built with a total CAPEX of Rs 214 crore and inaugurated in 2017 by the Prime Minister. Gadkari said the bridge was part of the Kota bypass and East-West corridor from Porbandar (Gujarat) to Silchar (Assam). The cables of the bridge are aerodynamic in nature and have the ability to be neutral during storms.

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).
