Amritsar, December 9

The women’s wing of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has come up with an idea of providing the women protesters with essential items, including sanitary pads at the dharna site in New Delhi.

In a statement, AAP’s rural wing leader Seema Sodhi claimed that till now the party had distributed 3,000 sanitary pads among women protesters and it would continue to provide them with their daily needs as long as the ongoing agrarian strife continued.

Besides Sodhi, the party’s team of volunteers, including Aamardeep Kaur, Monika, Sukhwinder Kaur, Sukhwinder Kaur Gehlot and Jaspal Kaur also visited the dharna site.

AAP in Delhi has put in place a team of female doctors and health workers to monitor the supply chain of sanitary pads and other essential items of daily use for women protesters.

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).
