Haryana Speaker Gian Chand Gupta today said grassroots education and awareness on organ donation were need of the hour.

Gupta stated this at a patient connect programme organised by a hospital here to mark World Kidney Day.

He said: “Several precious lives fall prey to deficit of organs every year. In such circumstances, we need to make each and every person aware of the importance of organ donation”.

Meanwhile, Gupta, along with the Nephrology Department of the hospital, felicitated around 100 kidney donors and recipients, including a 15-year-old boy from Yamunanagar, who underwent kidney transplant last year.

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).
