Chandigarh, June 12

To mark the death anniversary of Nek Chand, creator of the Rock Garden, Sushma Sanwal, the first woman student of the renowned sculptor, today created an impressive village scene at the world-famous garden displaying a tube well, spinning wheel, curd churning machine and other expressive items surrounded by villagers wearing masks and greenery all around.

Sushma said through her work, she gave a message to society to wear masks in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic spreading in rural areas and also, exhibited the importance of greenery all around.

“All this has been fabricated from waste material,” Sushma said while paying a tribute her guru on his death anniversary.

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).
