Chandigarh: The Pepsu Road Transport Corporation (PRTC) will add 219 new buses to its fleet for providing a convenient and comfortable journey to the public. Transport Minister Laljit Bhullar said the PRTC was in dire need of buses to meet the demand of new routes. He said approval in this regard had already been accorded by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

“The process to include buses under the kilometer scheme has been initiated and a tender has already been floated. The last date for it is August 2,” the Transport Minister added.

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).
