Maan Dhiya Te Samaj Bhalai Society on Wednesday handed over a draft containing 1,00,972 signatures collected from students to make them aware of female foeticide under ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padao’ movement to DEO Salwinder Singh Samra.

Society president Gurinder Singh Mattu said at present society was facing many challenges and one of them was female foeticide. He said focus was on creating awareness among youngsters.

The DEO appreciated the efforts of individuals and NGOs to create awareness among people, especially students, against social evils.

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).
