Chandigarh, September 19

In a first-of-its-kind initiative, an exclusive legal aid clinic, “Samta Nyay Kendra”, for the third gender was set up at New Indira Colony, Mani Majra, here today. It has been set up to provide counselling and help to the third gender to redress their grievances.

The clinic, set up by the District Legal Services Authority, UT, in association with the Chandigarh State Aids Control Society and its partner NGO, the Association of Professional Social Workers and Development Practitioners, was inaugurated by Justice Jaswant Singh, Judge, Punjab and Haryana High Court-cum-Executive Chairman, State Legal Services Authority, Chandigarh. — 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).
