Dharamsala, March 8

The Department of Religion and Culture, CTA, held the annual prayer service today in memory of the Tibetan martyrs, who protested China’s occupation of Tibet on March 8, 1989.

The hour-long programme was presided over by CTA president Sikyong Lobsang Sangay, chief guest Frantisek Kopriva, vice-chairperson of the committee for European affairs of the Chamber of Deputiesa and founding member and co-chairperson of Czech Parliamentary Group for Tibet, and special guest Dana Balcarova, the chairwoman of the committee of the environment of the chamber of deputies and founding member of the Czech Parliamentary group for Tibet, and members of the Tibetan Parliament.

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).
