The second day of the Mandav Mahotsav was marked here on Thursday by a series of vibrant competitions aimed at promoting awareness on important social themes such as drug prevention, cleanliness and cultural heritage. The events commenced at 10 am, with enthusiastic participation from students of various schools across the district.

To raise awareness about the harmful effects of drug abuse, a yoga competition was organised for school students. The competition was evaluated by a panel of judges comprising Dr Nirmal Singh, Dr Monika Gupta and Meenakshi Parmar.

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).
