Chandigarh, January 7

A monthly ration distribution programme by Balramji Das Tandon Charitable Foundation completed four years on Sunday. On the occasion, a one-month ration kit each was distributed among 60 widows at Khuda Ali Sher.

The programme was launched by philanthropist and former city BJP chief Sanjay Tandon in the memory of his father.

Tandon said a ration card was issued to the beneficiary and grocery items were provided to them. He said the foundation would continue to strengthen this scheme by adding more beneficiaries. A total of 3,301 widows were given monthly ration kits from January 2020 till date.

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).
