Following reports that power distribution companies (discoms) in six states have been directed to “either adopt privatisation or reduce their losses”, the Power Ministry has said that it has not issued any warning to discoms.

The Centre is committed to supporting state governments and discoms in their endeavours to provide reliable power supply to all consumers, the ministry said.

It was “always working with all stakeholders” including the state governments and regulatory commissions to devise pathways that secure sustainable power delivery, protect consumer interests, promote employment opportunities and ensure fiscal prudence, the ministry claimed.

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).
