Punjab Cabinet Minister Aman Arora on Saturday said the state government had provided youngsters with government jobs “without any bribe” and solely on the basis of merit.

He said the government’s policy was based on the principle of “no cash, no favour”, providing the youth with opportunities to move ahead on the strength of their hard work and merit. He said this after handing over cheques amounting to Rs 2.60 crore to gram panchayats for 59 development works in 40 villages of the Sunam Assembly segment.

Arora told mediapersons at Longolwal that the government was continuously working towards the overall development of villages. Arora said the primary aim of the state government was to ensure balanced development of villages and cities.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
