The Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Punjab, honoured Kudrat Welfare Trust, an NGO, at a function here on Wednesday for its support in patient care through blood and platelet donations in the tricity. Trust chairperson GS Ahluwalia said he had started the social work after his daughter Kudrat Kaur died in a road accident.

During the ceremony, the hospital’s director, Ashish Gulia, praised the trust for its contribution in platelet donation campaigns, ensuring a steady supply for cancer patients.

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).
