In a significant humanitarian gesture, the Himachal Pradesh Red Cross Society on Wednesday sent essential relief material from Shimla to support disaster-affected communities in Mandi district.

The aid package included 60 mattresses, 120 bed sheets, pillow covers, towels, along with bathing and laundry soaps, sanitary pads, toothpaste and toothbrushes. Additional items such as juice, biscuits, hair oil, candles and bottled water were also part of the consignment. The supplies were formally handed over to Dr Sanjeev Kumar, Assistant Secretary of the HP State Red Cross.

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).
