Chandigarh: Continuing its efforts to serve the needy and distressed during the lockdown due to the Covid-19 outbreak, a total of 128 coolies from Saharanpur, Yamunanagar, Jagadhari, Ambala and Bathinda were given ration by the Northern Railway Women’s Welfare Organisation (NRWWO), Ambala Division.

Each coolie (Rail Sahayak) was provided with 10-kg atta, 5-kg rice,1-kg edible oil, 1-kg sugar, 250-gm tea and 2-kg dal. The ration was distributed at the Ambala, Yamunanagar, Jagadhari, Saharanpur and Bathinda stations by commercial inspectors and supervisors, assisted by the RPF staff of the Ambala Division.

While distributing ration, proper hygiene and protocol of social distancing was followed.

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).
