Chandigarh, March 13

The Department of Urdu organised a special lecture on ‘How to read and write Urdu novels and stories’ by Dr Renu Behl, an eminent Urdu writer.

She discussed a popular story by her, ‘Kirpa’, with the students and answered their question about various aspects of the story.

Dr Ali Abbas, Coordinator of the Urdu Department, said a writer was essentially a product of society and was always aware of the prevalent problems.

While discussing Dr Renu Behal’s novel titled ‘Mere Hone Mein Kya Burai Hai’, he said transgenders were also human and should not be discriminated.

Ravi Tej Brar, a student, talked about the style of Dr Renu Behl writings. Khialq-ua-Rehman, another student, gave a vote of thanks.

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).
