Abohar, February 10

To ensure that water reaches the tails of the canals, the work of cleaning of the canals, which is done twice every year, has been started by the Water Resources Department. The renovation of Malout Distributary and Ramsara Minor canals is also being done.

Superintending Engineer (SE) Hardeep Singh Mehndiratta today inspected the cleaning and renovation works. He said that according to the demands of the farmers, the canal was also being cleaned from the Harike headworks to Sotha headworks.

He said the department is trying to provide water by completing the cleaning of the canals at the earliest possible time so that the farmers can get water for fruit orchards and wheat crops. He assured the farmers that in the coming days, they would get adequate water for the kharif crop.

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).
