Amritsar, September 11

The Shaheed Bhagat Singh Naujwan Sabha organised a convention in Ajnala on the issue of drug addiction and its effects on society on Sunday. Some youth leaders presided over the event.

Dharminder Singh Mukerian said, “Youth unemployment is one of the biggest reasons behind drug addiction. An employed youth does not have much time for drugs. An unemployed youth, on the other hand, easily falls into the trap of drug addiction.”

The youth leaders also criticised the Aam Aadmi Party for failing to fulfill its promise of providing jobs to the unemployed. Kulwant Singh Mallunangal claimed that the government has scrapped more posts in the state government departments than it has filled, six months since coming to power.

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).
