Mohali, August 24

Forest Minister Sadhu Singh Dharamsot today inaugurated the Siswan nature awareness camp.

A tented accommodation facility (three tents) has been created with a provision for boating, eco trails, birdwatching and nature exploration through trekking and cycling.

The foundation stone of the nature interpretation centre was also laid that would have interactive facilities for educating tourists about flora and fauna of the Shiwalik area.

On removing illegal encroachment from the forest land, Dharamsot said with the concerted efforts, we had been able to retrieve thousands of acre land. Laying emphasis on the importance of forest cover, he said people had acknowledged the values of trees in the Covid times, when patients were direly in need of the oxygen support. — 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).
