Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said developed India was the principal dream of the ruling BJP government.

Laying the foundation stone of various national projects worth more than Rs 10,900 crore at Sarusajai Stadium in Guwahati (Assam), the PM said the atmosphere of mistrust was no longer seen in the Northeast.

The PM congratulated all on Rongali Bihu festival saying it was a “celebration of heart and soul for the people of Assam”. The PM laid the stone of a bridge connecting Palashbari and Sualkuchi on the Brahmaputra river and a project for beautification of Rang Ghar, Sivasagar. He inaugurated a menthol plant in Namrup and dedicated five railway projects to the nation. He witnessed a Bihu dance featuring more than 10,000 performers.

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).
