Rohtak, July 13

As many as 200 saplings of sandalwood trees were planted in the jail complex at Sunaria jail here today.

Rohtak range IGP Mamta Singh kicked-off the plantation drive by planting the first sapling.

He appreciated the jail authorities for involving the prisoners in the plantation drive as well. The saplings were planted with the help of Japanese forestry technique ‘Miyawaki’.

Jail Superintendent Suneel Sangwan said the saplings were on one acre of land.

“The jail inmates will be given the responsibility to look after the plants,” Sangwan added.

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).
