Senior citizens are an asset for society. The progress of a nation is not just decided by the GDP and per capita income, but by how senior citizens are treated.

The government has framed a policy for the welfare of the elderly people and the measures have been taken to strictly implement it to ensure the safety and security of the elderly, said Dr Sanjeev Kumar, SDM, while addressing a function organised by the Rotary Club, Sirhind, in collaboration with the Senior Citizen’s Welfare Association to commemorate the ‘International Day for Elderly’. He called upon the youths to respect and obey their parents and elders as they have vast knowledge. — OC

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).
