UNA, MARCH 23

Mukhtiar Singh, a victim of locomotor disability and a beneficiary of the Social Security Pension scheme meant for the persons with physical challenges, today contributed Rs 6,000 to the state government’s relief fund. He presented a cheque to DC Raghav Sharma.

A resident of Dobar village in Bangana, Mukhtiar Singh belongs to the underprivileged section of society. He said he was grateful to the government for the monthly financial assistance, which was of great help to him and his family. He was donating a small amount from his pension savings so that it could benefit another needy person like him.

Appreciating Mukhtiar’s commitment, Raghav Sharma said he had set an example for society. He appealed to all to contribute to the relief fund so that these could be utilised in rendering assistance to people in need.

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).
