Chandigarh, April 4

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday asked the deputy commissioners to reach out to people on the ground level, particularly in villages, and showcase the government commitment towards easing the availability of all services.

The meeting of all DCs at Punjab Bhavan was called to review the ongoing food procurement drive in the state. Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak was also present.

Mann asked the officers to spare public the hassle of travelling to offices in the city. Officers needed to be available to people all the time, he said, adding that the administration needed to be more proactive for public welfare.

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).
