Sirhind, June 15

On the occasion of World Blood Donation Day, a seminar was organised at the Rana Hospital, Sirhind, to make people aware about blood donation. Doctor Hitender Suri said blood donation is also called ‘mahadana’.

In cases of an accidents or surgeries, a patient may lose blood which may event be life-threatening. Donating blood saves lives and is a noble deed, Suri added. He encouraged people to donate blood and broke various stigmas related to blood donation.

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).
