Solan, May 19

An event related to Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav was organised at the Siwalik Fossil Park, Saketi, in Sirmaur district by the Geological Survey of India (GSI), Chandigarh.

Nahan MLA Ajay Solanki was the chief guest on the occasion. Students, faculty members of local schools and colleges were invited along with residents of nearby villages to attend the event.

Ajay Solanki held discussions with Dr GS Tiwari, Deputy Director General, GSI, Chandigarh, and shared his views with the students and other participants about the importance of fossils and the Siwalik Fossil Park, Saketi.

He also planted a sapling at Siwalik Fossil Museum.

GSI Director PS Sethi delivered a talk on the history of GSI.

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).
