Residents throng in a large numbers to the places where UT Forest Department vehicles visit to distribute medicinal plants these days.

“We have received a good response from residents due to the awareness about the medicinal plants. In no time, all plants are taken away by locals at different sites,” said a forest department official.

The forest wing is distributing 75,000 medicinal plants among the city residents for boosting their immunity in the wake of Covid-19. Each resident is given five plants such as aloe vera, ‘neem’, curry leaves, ‘patharchatta’, ‘giloy’, ‘tulsi’ and ‘ashwagandha’. The department is delivering plants on doorsteps. The details regarding their visit to different sectors is updated on the department’s website. — 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).
