In a rare and inspiring initiative, a drug awareness programme was held at GSSS-Lohardi, Chhota Bhangal—one of the remotest regions of district Kangra. The event was led by Kangra ASP Hitesh Lakhanpal in collaboration with Jan Chetna Dharamshala, an NGO dedicated to drug prevention and social reform.

Around 210 students, staff members, and senior dignitaries participated in the event. Addressing the gathering, ASP Lakhanpal emphasized that “building good habits enhances life, and eliminating bad ones leads to growth.” He adopted the school and pledged continued support from the police and community.

The event saw the active involvement of 24 senior Jan Chetna members, many of them retired government officials.

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).
