Chandigarh, November 8

Punjab Governor and UT Administrator Banwarilal Purohit flagged off two trucks carrying 600 boxes of sweets for jawans posted in the border areas from Punjab Raj Bhavan today.

The consignment would be airlifted by the IAF for further distribution to the Army units in Ladakh and Siachen. “Aap hain toh hum hain” was the note pasted on each box.

Initiated by RK Saboo and Usha Saboo, Rotary District 3080, under the leadership of District Governor Arun Mongia, continued with the project of sending sweets to jawans in the border areas for the seventh year.

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).
