Amritsar, August 25

A local NGO organised a seminar on ‘From Bangladesh to West Bengal: Crimes against Women’ here yesterday. Professor Vinay Kapoor Mehra, former vice-chancellor, Dr BR Ambedkar National Law University said Hindu women were being targeted in Bangladesh.

Dr Sujata Sharma, former principal of Government Medical College, while expressing her anger on the rape and brutal murder of a doctor in Bengal, said the incident shook her soul. “It is sad that the state government is trying to cover up this incident,” she said.

Dr Simarpreet Sandhu, chairperson of FICCI FLO said it was everyone's duty to protect women. Along with Beti Padhao, Beti Bachao, safety of daughters was necessary. “We should instill good values in our boys at home itself,” she said.

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).
