The Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN) celebrated the increasing visibility of women on global stage and acknowledged their struggle in overcoming gender stereotypes and inequality on the occasion of Women’s Day. On this occasion, a motivational talk by Padma Shri awardee, renowned motivational speaker and mountaineer Dr Arunima Sinha (World’s first female amputee to climb Mt Everest) was organised for women employees and members of Satluj Shree (SJVN Officers Ladies Club). Dr Sinha shared her experiences and her life story of being pushed from a running train by robbers while she was resisting them and doctors amputating her leg to save her life. — TNS

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).
