Faridabad, April 21

Sub-Inspector Dr Ashok Kumar Verma, currently posted in the State Narcotics Control Bureau, donated blood for the 168th time on Sunday. He is reportedly the top blood donor in the Police Department.

Verma, who hails from Karnal, said he chose to donate blood today as the day marks Lord Mahavir Jayanti.

He claims to have organised 495 blood donation camps so far since 1990, when he was a college student. Besides, the 53-year-old cop has donated platelets for at least 81 times. He was awarded with the President’s Gold Medal for meritorious service on January 26, 2020.

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).
