Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday directed to deploy a gazetted officer in every marooned village to supervise relief and rescue operations.

The CM said the step had been taken to ensure direct communication between the administration and the people of flood-affected villages.

He said this would ensure a prompt and appropriate solution.

Mann said 1,698 villages in 23 districts had been inundated due to floods, thereby affecting more than 3.80 lakh people.

The CM said officials had been directed to conduct “Special Girdawari” in a fair manner so that people get duly compensated for their loss.

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).
