Shimla, April 15

The state government has renamed the HP Covid-19 solidarity response fund as the HP SDMA Covid-19 state disaster response fund for contributions, donations, voluntary endowment and grants for the purpose to fight the pandemic.

The decision was taken by the state executive committee and the disaster management authority constituted under the Disaster Management Act, 2005.

The previous fund opened under the bank account number 50100340267282 (IFSC code HDFC0004116) with HDFC, Chhota Shimla, and bank account number 39241879383 (IFSC code SBIN0050204) with the State Bank of India, HP Secretariat, will now account for the renamed fund to be operated by the Department of Revenue.

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).
