Revenue Minister Bram Shanker Jimpa said the government had taken the initiative for the ultra-modern construction of several such offices.

Earlier, Rs 100 crore was approved, but after increasing the budget of some districts, Rs 158 crore had been released so far. He said many offices were running in old and dilapidated buildings and had not been equipped with facilities.

He said Rs 5.14 crore, Rs 4.31 crore, Rs 10.68 crore and Rs 3.05 crore had been released for the new buildings to be constructed at Chamkaur Sahib, Cheema (Sangrur), Dirba and Banur. Apart from this, Rs 6.52 crore had been released for the new tehsil complex in Hoshiarpur and Rs 6.18 crore in Nakodar.

Many tehsils in Barnala, Faridkot, Samana, Phillaur, Gurdaspur and Ludhianawould be upgraded.

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).
