Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday led a plantation drive in the national capital as part of the ‘Ek ped maa ke naam’ campaign aimed at increasing the green cover and enriching the ecology, Raj Niwas officials said.

The V-P planted a sapling in the honour of his mother Kesari Devi at Asita – an ecological park developed by Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on the eastern floodplains of Yamuna opposite ITO in New Delhi. He planted a sapling of Tabebuia Rosea (commonly known as rosy trumpet tree), a flowering tree species, along the greenway of Asita. Dr Sudesh Dhankhar, wife of the Vice President also planted a sapling.

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).
