Punjab Local Government Minister Ravjot Singh has launched a new initiative for the maintenance of urban infrastructure through fixing of direct accountability of officers.

The minister unveiled the “Punjab Road Cleanliness Mission” that will assign road segments to Class-I officers across the state for daily monitoring and maintenance oversight.

“This initiative marks a paradigm shift from traditional governance to accountability-driven administration,” he said.

The minister said each Class-I officer, including deputy commissioners, municipal commissioners, will be assigned approximately 10 km road stretches.

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).
