The Sirhind feeder canal will be closed for 35 days so that relining work can be taken up.

The Water Resources Department Principal Secretary, Krishan Kumar, passed an order today regarding the schedule.

The decision has been taken under Rule 63 of the Northern India Canal and Drainage Act, 1873 (Act 8 of 1973), keeping in mind the weather and crop conditions.

Sukhjit Singh Randhawa, Executive Engineer, said the work of relining of the canal had to be carried out for which the water body would be closed from November 30, 2022, to January 3, 2023 (both days inclusive).

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).
