Muktsar, October 4

After the National Consumers Awareness Group complained to the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs that the water supply, sewerage system, storm water drainage system and sewerage treatment plants (STPs) were not functioning in Muktsar town, the Under Secretary to the Government of India has written to the Principal Secretary of the Urban Development Department of the state to take necessary action.

The letter reads,“As implementation of AMRUT scheme is the responsibility of the state/concerned ULB, it is requested that necessary action, as deemed appropriate, may be taken on the complaint and Shyam Lal Goyal be informed of action taken directly, under intimation to this ministry.” — TNS

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).
