Chandigarh, June 25

Plantation programmes were conducted in Ward No. 2, 10 and 30 during which saplings were planted on V4 and V5 roads as well as in the neighbourhood parks.

The respective councillors, Maheshinder Singh Sidhu, Harpreet Kaur Babla and Hardeep Singh, were the chief guests at these activities.

A variety of saplings, including plumeria alba and lagerstroemia indica (on V4 and V5 roads in Sector 7), nyctanthes arbortristis (in the neighbourhood park of Sector 28-B) and cassia fistula (on V5 road in Sector 41), were planted.

The saplings of a total of 60 trees and 110 shrubs were planted during the programme.

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).
