Chandigarh, August 31

The Punjab Government today claimed that the process of disbursement of compensation to flood victims has been fast-tracked.

Revenue, Rehabilitation and Disaster Management Minister Bram Shanker Jimpa said those affected by the floods are being given relief money as per the rules issued by the Union Government. He said Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann wanted an increase in the relief amount. However, the state government did not get a positive response from the Centre.

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).
