Chandigarh, May 19

To convert state prisons into “Sudhar Ghar” in real sense, Jails Minister Harjot Singh Bains today directed the department officials to explore the modalities for introducing latest technology to end the use of cellphones inside the premises.

At a meeting, Bains issued directions for ramping up manpower in jails and asked Special Chief Secretary (Jails) Vijay Kumar Janjua to deploy extra cops to tighten the noose around inmates involved in illegal activities.

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).
