Rajya Sabha member from Punjab Vikramjit Singh Sahney met Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw here seeking allocation of the ministry’s proposed ‘Data Centre Economic Zone’ to Punjab.

He asked the Centre to consider the proposal of the state government for setting up semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities at Rajpura, under the India Semiconductor Mission.

The state government has already confirmed the availability of 250-acres of land for this purpose, he added. He also requested the central government to support rural entrepreneurship.

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).
