Chamba, February 27

Trilok Kapoor, chairperson of the Himachal Pradesh State Wool Federation, made a courtesy call on Padma Shri Lalita Vakil in Chamba town while on a two-day visit to the region recently.

Kapoor said that Lalita had made the district proud and drawn recognition for the Chamba ‘rumal’ (handkerchief). He said the remarkable work done by her in this field would inspire future generations. Lalita teaches the age-old art of the Chamba princely state to aspiring girls to pass on the art to the coming generations.

“Lalita’s endeavour will help preserve the unique art of Chamba ‘’rumal’’ for the posterity,” Kapoor said. —

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).
