Students of Government Senior Secondary School, Halog, Dhami in Shimla district were sensitised about the causes, symptoms, treatment options as well as preventive measures of cervical cancer, during a cervical cancer awareness drive that was conducted in the school by the Rotaract Club of Himachal Pradesh National Law University (HPNLU), Shimla.

During the programme, students were also sensitised about the crucial role of preventive measures such as regular screening, HPV vaccination, safe sexual practices and personal hygiene. The drive featured an expert session, interactive participation from students and the distribution of prizes.

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).
