Chandigarh, August 2
The Regional Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (ROTTO) culminated its month-long awareness drive on organ donation with a cyclothon.
Flagged off by Prof RK Ratho, Dean, Academics, PGI, the cyclothon was organised in collaboration with Command Hospital, Chandimandir, and Cyclegiri, a youth club of cycling enthusiasts, on the eve of Indian Organ Donation Day. It saw participation of over 150 persons, including doctors and army officers. The cyclothon commenced in two legs, one from PGI and the other from Command Hospital. Both culminated at Sukhna Lake. — TNS

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).
