In observance of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, a legal awareness camp was held today at the Old Age Home, Red Cross Society, Sector-15, Panchkula. The event was conducted under the direction of Surya Partap Singh, Member Secretary, Haryana State Legal Services Authority (HALSA), and guided by Ved Parkash Sirohi, District and Sessions Judge-cum-Chairman, DLSA.

Aparna Bhardwaj, Chief Judicial Magistrate-cum-Secretary, DLSA, attended the camp and sensitised the elderly residents about their legal rights. She was joined by Panel Advocate Kushal Chand and PLV Veena Rani.

The residents were informed about their entitlements under the NALSA (Legal Services to Senior Citizens) Scheme, 2016, including the availability of free legal aid. The helpline numbers 15100 and 0172-2585566 were shared.

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).
