Chandigarh, May 7

Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Thursday ordered the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) to make all 515 cash collection centres operational from May 8 between 9 am and 2 pm across the state for consumers to deposit their bills while strictly adhering to health protocols.

Approving a detailed strategy for resuming work by the PSPCL based on the recommendations of the task force constituted by the state government, Amarinder, who also holds the portfolio of power, also allowed meter readers to resume operations to ensure proper billing to consumers in order to reduce the number of billing complaints. All meter readers have also been asked to wear masks and maintain social distancing.

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).
