The District Administration has made all arrangements needed for its "Run for Life" anti-drugs awareness marathon to be held on Sunday.

"All the officers, employees of all the departments, students of schools, colleges and universities, sportsmen and representatives of NGOs will participate in the marathon," said Deputy Commissioner Dr Sona Thind after holding a review meeting.

The DC added that the marathon will start at 7 am from the Rotary Club near Aam Khas Bagh, Sirhind, and aims to deliver a strong message against substance abuse and promote physical and mental wellness.

The marathon is being organised in collaboration with Rotary Club and other local NGOs.

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).
