Water supply in Abohar branch canal, Malukpura distributary, Daulatpura minor (sub-canal), Ramsara minor and Panjawa distributary will be closed from December 2 to 17 for cleaning of these channels.

Sources in the Municipal Corporation said there might not be any problem in ensuring drinking water supply for two weeks as consumption had decreased with the change in weather. People have already been warned against using water for washing vehicles and sprinkling outside their houses or on roads in the markets. Violation of the directions attracted a fine of at least Rs 500.

The closure of water supply is likely to affect farmers who were yet to sow wheat. Agriculture experts said the ideal time for sowing wheat in the state was from November 1 to 15.

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).
