Chandigarh, August 26

The mega integrated textile park, which was earlier planned near the protected Mattewara forest in Ludhiana and was later scrapped following a public outcry, will now be built in Fatehgarh Sahib.

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will write a demi-official letter to Union Minister of Textiles, Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal, requesting him to accept the proposal with a changed location. “Already, 700 acres in Fatehgarh Sahib has been identified for the park. As 1,000 acres are needed, another 300 acres will be acquired,” said an officer.

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).
