People during the blood donation camp on The Ridge in Shimla.

A blood donation camp was organised at The Ridge by the Umang Foundation to pay tribute to former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, with 45 persons donating blood. Panchayati Raj and Rural Development Minister Anirudh Singh inaugurated the camp and felicitated donors with roses. He praised the foundation's initiative, calling it a noble act of kindness that saves lives. The camp was a fitting tribute to Dr Singh, kicking off the new year with a selfless act.

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).
