Chandigarh, April 20

The government has shut as many as nine toll plazas in its tenure of one year.

Punjab Public Works Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO has said, “Keeping the interest of the state residents in mind, these toll plazas have been shut down and more such toll plazas will also be closed in the days to come.”

Minister ETO said that the Punjab Government has closed down a total of nine toll plazas, namely the Kiratpur Sahib-Nangal-Una 1, the Hoshiarpur-Tanda 1, the Ludhiana-Sangrur 2, the High Level Makhu Bridge 1, the Balachaur-Dasuya (Balachaur-Garhshankar-Hoshiarpur-Dasuya) 3, and the Patiala-Samana-Patran 1, among others, over the span of a year.

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).
