Amritsar, October 1

The Amritsar Municipal Corporation conducted a cleanliness drive as part of a nationwide campaign ‘Ek Tareekh, Ek Ghanta Ek Saath (One Date, One Hour Together) Shramdhan’, a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, on the eve of his birth anniversary today.

As part of an appeal by the Government of India to all citizens to collectively donate one hour of voluntary labour for cleanliness at 10 am on October 1, programmes were organised in all five assembly constituencies here in which a large number of residents participated. Officials and employees of the health wing of the MC began a cleanliness drive in all wards of the city on the occasion.

The drive was started near Maharaja Ranjit Singh statue, Dharam Singh Market, in Central Assembly constituency in which MLA Dr Ajay Gupta was the chief guest.

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).
