The Punjabi Cell of the Haryana Sahitya and Sanskriti Akademi organised a seminar on the contribution of Punjabi writers in the freedom struggle and promotion of Punjabi language and culture at Panchkula on Sunday.

Addressing the seminar, KC Agnihotri, executive vice-chairman of the akademi, highlighted various initiatives of the government for the promotion of languages and culture. The Sahitya Akademi Award to Pal Kaur will go a long way in promoting Punjabi in Haryana, he said.

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).
