Chamba, December 27

Women of the tribal area of Pangi in Chamba district launched a campaign today to save hazelnut (locally known as ‘thangi’). A local NGO, CEVA, which has been working in Pangi for several years, initiated the campaign.

Hazelnut has been an important part of the region’s economy for centuries and women of the area play a leading role in its cultivation. Social organisations, panchayat representatives and villagers participated in the campaign.

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).
