Abohar, February 18

Replying to a question raised by MLA Sandeep Jakhar in the Vidhan Sabha Budget session in June last year, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had assured him that renovation work on the Abohar bus stand would be completed within three months. But, the work is yet to start.

After visiting the bus stand along with Mayor Vimal Thatai, the MLA said he had been reminding the CM through letters and phone calls that the promise was yet to be fulfilled. Last night, Transport Secretary Vikas Garg informed him over the phone that funds would be released to start the renovation work from next week. The MLA said it is expected that the government will release an amount of Rs 2.92 crore for the work.

“It is expected that the AAP government will conduct a fair investigation into the corruption charges against its own ministers and legislators,” he said.

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).
