Mohali, February 16

Chandigarh University (CU), Gharuan, celebrated Basant Panchami – in a unique way by launching Mohali city’s first community radio, Radio Punjab 90.0, on its campus today.

The radio station and studio of Radio Punjab 90.0 was inaugurated by Charanjit Singh Channi, Minister for Technical Education, Tourism & Cultural Affairs, Government of Punjab, and Upasana Singh, Bollywood actress and comedian.

The University Institute of Media Studies (UIMS), the mass communication institute of Chandigarh University, will run the community radio. Radio Punjab 90.0 will cater to the audience of Mohali, Kharar, Morinda, Kurali, besides covering the rural areas of Mankheri, Roorkee Pukhta, Mamupur, Gharuan, Batta and Simbal Majra, which are the adopted villages of Chandigarh University.

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).
