Chandigarh, December 14

The Punjab Cabinet, led by CM Charanjit Singh Channi, today approved inviting applications for the allotment of 25,000 houses to economically weaker sections of society. The dwelling units will be constructed by various urban development authorities across the state.

Each such house will have a carpet area of around 30 sq m. At present, 397.048 acre land is available for EWS housing in Mohali, Ludhiana, Bathinda, Patiala, Jalandhar and Amritsar, an official of the Chief Minister’s Office said.

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).
