Amritsar, October 3

Deputy Chief Minister OP Soni on Sunday handed over the keys of the press club building to the office-bearers of the Amritsar Press Club Association. Soni congratulated the mediapersons and also announced a grant of Rs10 lakh for the club for basic needs. He said journalists were the fourth pillar of democracy. He said they should highlight the positive aspects of the government schemes along with healthy criticism, so that the governments could work for the betterment of society.

Rajesh Gill, president, Amritsar Press Club, also thanked the Deputy Chief Minister, Punjab Government and the district administration for handing over the club to journalists. — 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).
