Chandigarh, March 29

Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit will visit the border districts of Pathankot, Gurdaspur, Amritsar, Tarn Taran, Ferozepur and Fazilka next month. The proposed visit comes a month after the formation of the AAP government in Punjab.

Apart from meeting district officials in the six districts, the Governor will meet BSF officials and interact with people to listen to their grievances. The Chief Secretary and DGP have been asked to attend a meeting at Punjab Raj Bhawan in this regard on March 30.

Sources in the government said for the development of the border areas, there are centrally funded development funds. BJP leader Anish Sidana, who has been member of the Border and Kandi Area Development Board, said there was need for audit of the centrally funded border areas schemes. —

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).
