Patiala, July 17

Punjab Power and Public Works Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO on Monday inspected the power grid affected by floodwater at Badshahpur and ordered to replace its dilapidated building.

He claimed the department maintained uninterrupted power supply while fighting challenges posed by floods in the various parts of the state.

He said the floods had affected power infrastructure in 200 villages of Patiala alone, but the PSPCL took immediate measures to restore supply.

He said the PSPCL suffered a loss of Rs 31 crore due to storms this year, while the loss due to floods was being estimated. “The priority is to evaluate the loss faced by the general public,” he said.

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).
