Zirakpur, July 29

Chhatbir zoo celebrated International Tiger Day today to generate awareness on the dwindling population of the species.

The population of the national animal of India has been affected by several factors like illegal wildlife trade, human-wildlife conflict, habitat loss and fragmentation.

Kalpana K, Field Director, Chhatbir Zoo, initiated the awareness campaign with various events like special interactive session for rural schools, painting competition, awareness film show and zoo keeper’s talk.

The prime motive of the sessions was to spread the message on how to conserve and protect tiger. Around 40 school students from nearby villages participated in the special sessions and painting competition.

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).
