The Virsa Vihar Society dedicated the 100th birth anniversary of Mohammad Rafi by hosting a special ceremony at Virsa Vihar. Members of the society, led by noted theatre person Kewal Dhaliwal, unveiled a statue of Mohammad Rafi installed at Virsa Vihar.

On the occasion, theatre students, who came to the National Theatre Workshop organised by the National School of Drama, Delhi, at Virsa Vihar, participated in a session on the life and professional journey of Rafi. National School of Drama alumni theatre person Partho Banerjee and Pritpal Rupana were also present with them. A seminar and musical programme dedicated to the 100th birth anniversary of Rafi Sahib will be hosted on December 29 at Virsa Vihar.

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).
