Sukhwinder Singh Bindra, a member (NISD) and special invitee (NCCDR) in the Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, met Cabinet Minister Dr Virendra Kumar in Delhi and invited him to grace the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan programme in Amritsar to be held on September 13.

The event will witness the participation of thousands of youth and students, united in the mission to create a drug-free Punjab. The meeting between Bindra and the Union minister focused on strengthening the fight against drug abuse and inspiring community involvement across the state. This will be a national level function. Bindra said the presence of minister will be a great source of motivation for the people of Amritsar and will further boost the nationwide campaign for a Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan.

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).
