The Senior Citizens Association, Sirhind, today organised a blood donation-cum-health check-up camp. The blood bank team from the civil hospital collected 60 units of blood in total.

Dr KD Singh, Senior Medical Officer (SMO) at the Fatehgarh Sahib civil hospital, meanwhile, presided over camp.

Addressing the gathering Shankar Sharma, PCS field officer of CM flying Squad, appreciated the efforts of the Senior Citizens Association. He added that everyone should come forward to donate blood so that the precious lives of the needy people can be saved. He said that every drop of blood saves a precious human life.

He further urged all non-governmental organisations to continue holding such camps.

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).
