Chandigarh, October 6

The UT’s Department of Tourism celebrated Le Corbusier’s birth anniversary by holding several events, including a vibrant collage-making session, allowing participants from government and private schools to channel their artistic spirit while drawing inspiration from Le Corbusier’s ground-breaking designs.

Students created their own art pieces that reflected the visionary ideas of this iconic architect. An immersive guided tour of Le Corbusier Centre and Capitol Complex was organised wherein students from various schools and colleges participated.

Rohit Gupta, Director, Tourism, awarded cash prizes to the winners. Ajay Jagga, a member of the Heritage Items Protection Cell, said the real tribute to the legendary architect would be to maintain the original character of the city.

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).
