A seminar on drug prevention was organised at the local Sri Guru Arjan Dev (SGAD) Government College on Friday under the guidance of principal in-charge Dr Gurinderjit Kaur. Faculty members and students attended the seminar. Kabirpal Singh, Rhythm Kohli and Nidhi Arora from Bhatia Neuropsychiatric Hospital and Hermitage Rehab were invited by the college to address the gathering.

Kabirpal Singh, in his address, emphasised the importance of meditation in staying away from drugs. He explained that people often fall prey to drug addiction due to bad company or other influences which ultimately ruins their lives. Rhythm Kohli and Nidhi Arora advocated physical exercise including walking to lead a healthy life, away from drugs.

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).
