The Raja Virbhadra Singh Foundation, led by its president and PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh, has donated Rs 11 lakh to aid families affected by the recent calamity in Mandi district. A delegation comprising senior member Yadopati Thakur and local representatives handed over the cheque to the Deputy Commissioner. The funds will support relief, rehabilitation and emergency assistance efforts. Foundation members recalled Vikramaditya Singh’s visit to disaster-hit areas, reaffirming their commitment to help families rebuild their lives. “Natural disasters call for empathy and collective action. This contribution is a small step toward restoring normalcy,” they said.

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).
