Sangrur, July 24

Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar today visited flood-affected villages of Sangrur and said he would take up the matter with the Centre for a permanent solution of Ghaggar problem.

“I will take up the matter with the Centre as the problem could be resolved only with the involvement of all three states Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana. Since the government has failed to take effective steps, this year Ghaggar has caused heavy losses to the state,” said Jakhar. “I request the CM to immediately release compensation to these affected areas while assessment could be undertaken later,” 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).
