The 24 Punjab Battalion NCC, Amritsar, conducted a “Vibrant Village Programme” in the border village of Mehndipur on Wednesday. The event saw participation from NCC cadets, schoolchildren of the Government Middle School, villagers, the ANO, instructors and administrative staff of the battalion.

The participants carried out a march in support of the “Nasha Mukt Bharat” campaign, spreading awareness among the youth. The War Memorial in the village dedicated to the “Battle of Sehjra-1971” was cleaned and a wreath was laid by Col PS Riar, Commanding Officer of the 24 Punjab Battalion.

Various sports competitions, including Kabaddi and Kho-Kho, were organised to encourage the participation of children and villagers.

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).
