Chandigarh. March 23

A blood donation and organ donation camp was organised by the Awakening mission, in collaboration with the local District Bar Association, in the memory of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev on their martyrdom day at the District Courts complex, Sector 43, Chandigarh, today.

As many as 167 persons donated blood and more than 20 persons pledged organ donation as a mark of respect to the great martyrs of the independence struggle.

The prominent among those who attended the camp were Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, former IG of Punjab and Amritsar North MLA; Arunvir Vashista, District and Sessions Judge, Chandigarh; and Vijay James, Legal Remembrance-cum-Director Prosecution, Chandigarh.

Shankar Gupta, president, District Bar Association, Chandigarh, also participated in the camp.

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).
