Chandigarh, December 12

Department of Hindi, Panjab University, celebrated Bhartiya Bhasha Utsav with a signature campaign. The visitors were inspired to sign in their mother tongue.

The event commemorated the birth anniversary of freedom fighter and great Tamil poet Subramania Bharti. Prof Raj Kumar, Vice Chancellor, along with Prof YP Verma, Registrar; and Dr Ali Abbas, Chairperson, Department of Urdu, participated in the event.

Dr Gurmeet Singh, convener, said more than 250 visitors signed the display board in their mother tongue, including Hindi, English, Punjabi, Urdu, Telugu, Kannad, Ladakhi and Marathi.

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).
