The 307th monthly baithak organised by Pracheen Kala Kendra, Chandigarh, was marked by an enchanting classical vocal performance by young and talented vocalist Priyanka Thakur on Saturday. The event took place at the ML Koser Indoor Auditorium, Sector 35B. Priyanka commenced the evening with a rendition of Raag Malkauns, presenting a Vilambit Khayal titled Peer Na Jane Balam. She followed it with a Drut Khayal composition, Balam Nahi Aaye, set in teen taal, bringing energy and rhythm to the performance.

The highlight was her presentation of Har Har Mahadev Pati, a Tappa Khayal in Ati Drut, which earned her wide appreciation. To conclude, she rendered the popular Himachali folk song Kunju Chanchalo, which was met with huge applause f. She was ably accompanied by Divyansh Thakur on tabla and Piyush Mishra on harmonium, both adding depth to the recital.

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).
