Hyderabad, November 28

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has launched an “Save Amravati” campaign after the new YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government decided to abandon the capital project for the bifurcated state of Andhra Pradesh.

Naidu took a tour of Amravati along with thousands of supporters to force the government to reconsider its decision to prevent Amaravati from turning into a “ghost” town following World Bank’s withdrawal of a $300 million loan offer for the city. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has also withdrawn its $200-million loan offer. — TNS

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).
