The Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana distributed financial assistance to the dependents of deceased advocates of Punjab at a function held here today.

Minderjeet Yadav, chairman of the Bar Council, said approximately Rs50 lakh was distributed among the dependants of 42 advocates today.

The amount has been given out of the Rs1-crore grant given by the Government of Punjab for the Advocates Welfare Fund.

The chairman said the State Bar Council always stood with the legal fraternity, especially in this tough time of the pandemic. He told the families of the bereaved advocates that the Bar Council always treated them like their family and stood in solidarity with them. — 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).
