In a significant move aimed at accelerating grassroots development, the Punjab Government on Thursday approved the Rangla Punjab Vikas Fund.

The fund will be implemented across all 117 Vidhan Sabha constituencies in the state.

As part of the scheme, each Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) will receive Rs 5 crore annually to be spent exclusively on development activities within their respective constituencies.

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).
