Bhandari Ram Verma, an octogenarian resident of Changar Palasni village in Kothipura Panchayat, Bilaspur district, contributed Rs 5 lakh to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. He handed over the cheque to Deputy Commissioner Rahul Kumar.

Expressing gratitude, the DC thanked Verma for his noble gesture and said such acts of generosity inspire others in society to contribute towards humanitarian causes.

Verma, a retired Master Warrant Officer (MWO) from the Indian Air Force, now resides in his native village. On this occasion, Sadar SDM Dr Rajdeep Singh was also present.

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).
