Chandigarh, December 21

Power Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO has issued directions that the electricity connection of any government school or hospital will not be disconnected and strict action would be taken if any officer disconnected a connection on his own.

Recently, a JE-level officer had disconnected the connection of seven schools in Kapurthala district without consulting senior officials of the PSPCL.

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).
