A mass tree plantation drive was undertaken by the Transport Battalion of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) at Nepli forest here on Tuesday in collaboration with the Forest Department, Chandigarh.

ITBP personnel planted over 3,000 saplings of different varieties in the forest area. The drive was led by Gauri Shankar, Commandant, Transport Battalion, and Dr Abdul Qayum, Deputy Conservator, Chandigarh. Around 100 ITBP men took part in the plantation drive.

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).
