Chandigarh, March 8

Women patrol vehicles of the UT police were flagged off from the Government College for Girls, Sector 42, during a cultural event held to mark International Women’s day.

Recognising the UN Theme for the day, ‘Gender Equality Today for Sustainable Development Tomorrow’, trees were planted at the college. On the occasion, a mobile mammography van of the Tera Hi Tera Foundation was also inaugurated. The van will visit different colleges during the week.

As part of the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations, a video showing the role of female freedom fighters in India’s independence struggle was played. Twelve women achievers were felicitated at the event. —

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).
