Srinagar May 10

Godfrey Philips India (GPI) has handed over 1 lakh face masks to Srinagar administration to be distributed among frontline COVID-19 workers and the needy.

Srinagar administration has made wearing of face masks mandatory from May 1.

“The GPI being a responsible corporate made a pledge to contribute in this noble cause under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and made sure to deliver the timely consignment of one lakh face masks to district administration,” the GPI said in a statement.

The GPI team comprised of Jahanzeb Bhat, Javid Ahmad and Aijaz Bhat. Deputy Commissioner Srinagar Shahid Iqbal has hailed the gesture and appreciated this initiative from GPI.

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).
