State BJP president Rajeev Bindal today announced a month-long “Seva Sankalp Abhiyan” from September 17 to October 17 to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday and 25 years of his public service.

Addressing a press conference here, Bindal said the campaign would be taken to the booth level, covering nearly 80,000 households across around 8,000 booths. As many as 25 service activities would be organised, including blood donation camps, cleanliness drives, de-addiction programmes, medical assistance, support to orphanages and underprivileged people, and services for persons with disabilities. Painting and debate competitions on “Viksit Bharat” would be held for schoolchildren, besides felicitation of anganwadi workers.

Targeting the Congress government, Bindal alleged that the education system had deteriorated, with thousands of schools having only one teacher and some functioning without teachers. He also alleged an increase in school fees and curtailment of free uniforms and transport.

Questioning the government’s 2032 self-reliance target, he cited CAG observations on state finances and alleged excessive borrowing. He said the BJP would hold monthly protests at around 200 places over local issues.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
