Dalhousie, August 9

As many as 300 deodar saplings were planted in one hectare on the occasion of the 73rd Van Mahotsav organised at Bounderi gram panchayat in Churah subdivision of Chamba district yesterday.

Vidhan Sabha Deputy Speaker Hans Raj, who was the chief guest at the event, also planted a sapling.

He spoke about the role of forests in maintaining ecological balance. He said that people were being made aware of the need to conserve forests through the plantation drive. He added that the cooperation of local people was important for the conservation and expansion of forests.

He said that about 2.15 lakh saplings of different species would be planted in 215 hectares in Churah forest division in the near future.

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).
