Chandigarh, August 21

CM Bhagwant Mann on Monday announced a special grant of Rs 5 lakh for unanimously elected panchayats under the “Mukh Mantri Pind Ekta Sanman”. Stressing on the need to maintain brotherhood during the panchayat polls, the CM said, “These elections are important for the development of villages. Thus, we have announced a special grant for villages, which will elect sarpanch and panches unanimously.” Mann said the panchayat elections shouldn’t be used as a tool to settle political score with the opponents. — 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).
