Patiala, August 1

Shanan Power House at Jogindernagar, Himachal Pradesh, has broken all-time monthly generation record (since its commissioning in 1932) by generating 83.168 million units in July, claims CMD of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) A Venu Prasad. The power house is under the control of PSPCL.

In a release issued here today, he said the previous generation record was 82.054 million units in July, 1997. It has also created history by achieving monthly Plant Load Factor of 101.62 per cent for the first time.

He said during the ongoing paddy season, when there was an acute shortage of power, Shanan Power House is generating 4 MW more power over and above its installed capacity of 110 MW.

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).
