Anandpur Sahib, December 11

Punjab Water Resources and Education minister Harjot Singh Bains said a new Rs 100 crore lift irrigation scheme was in the offing for the Changar area (sub-mountainous) in near future. The minister was addressing a gathering at a function organised by the Anandpur Sahib Press Club.

Bains said despite two rivers and a canal passing through the district, a large number of people have been living without sufficient supply of water for irrigation as well as drinking purposes.

He said the government has started taking appropriate steps to improve the condition of government schools and within next couple of years, and its positive results will be visible, adding that government schools will advertise about the facilities and staff available with them.

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).
