Education Minister Rohit Thakur on Friday urged youngsters to stay connected with their cultural and religious traditions. Attending a puja at a temple in the Jubbal-Kotkhai Assembly constituency, Thakur said ‘dev’ tradition was an integral part of the local culture.

The minister congratulated area residents, and appealed to youngsters to value ‘dev’ culture, stating that it taught people to live together in peace and harmony.

“Therefore, the youth should stay connected to their cultural heritage as much as possible, and stay away from drugs,” he said.

On this occasion, he also inspected an under-construction community building, which is coming up at an estimated cost of Rs 50 lakh.

Over Rs 42 lakh has been spent on the construction, and about 90 per cent work has been completed.

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).
