Chamba, February 9

Abdul Ghani (66) of Chamba donated blood for the 209th time.

Ghani, who is also working as a volunteer for bringing awareness among the masses of this region about the health programmes launched by the government, appealed to the youth to come forward.

Ghani said he had been honoured by state and national-level NGOs as well as by former Governor Vishnu Kant Verma. He also got Rs 30,000 under Godfrey Award from another Governor Pratibha Rao and also got Rs 50,000 under True Hero Award from the state.

Former Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh late Virbhadra Singh gave him a cash reward of Rs 50,000 as ‘Prerna Strot’. —

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).
