Chandigarh, July 2

Haryana Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities Raj Kumar Makkar today announced the implementation of the Unique Disability Identity Card (UDID) from July 1 in the state.

This initiative is designed to protect and uphold the rights of persons with disabilities (divyangjans). It is now mandatory for divyangjans to obtain a UDID in order to access government facilities and employment opportunities. Makkar highlighted the significance of the UDID for the welfare of divyangjans in the state.

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).
