Muktsar, September 1

The beneficiaries of the state government’s Aashirwad scheme (Shagun scheme) are awaiting financial assistance of Rs 51,000 for the last six months in Muktsar district. Not even a single beneficiary registered after February 2023 has got the money.

Under this scheme, the state government provides an aid of Rs 51,000 for the marriage of a girl belonging to the SC, BC and economically weaker section (EWS) categories. According to norms, the bride, her father or a caretaker can apply to avail this scheme, which was launched to reduce child marriages.

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).
