Mohali, May 31

On the directions of the Punjab State Legal Services Authority, SAS Nagar, and under the able guidance of Harpal Singh, District and Sessions Judge-cum-Chairman, District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), SAS Nagar, an awareness programme was organised by the authority at Government Senior Secondary School, Dera Bassi. Baljinder Singh Maan, Secretary, DLSA, made aware the students regarding ill-effects of tobacco on human health. The students were educated about the legislation made for the prevention of use and sale of tobacco to children and about “No smoking zones”.

Besides, an anti-tobacco campaign was held by the authority from May 24 to 30 in schools through its legal literacy clubs. Competitions in declamation, painting, poster making and essay writing were held.

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).
