Jammu, November 2

Seema Devi from Nagrota area of the Jammu division was unknown in the Union Territory till she resolved to earn a living for herself and find a way to support her husband financially. The first woman e-rickshaw driver from the Valley, Seema Devi says her decision stemmed from the urge to help her husband financially.

According to her, the journey wasn’t rosy as she had to overcome certain inhibitions and the nervousness of having commuters stare at her in amusement. A mother of three, Seema says she is happy with her job as she earns a good money out of it and her family supports her decision.

Local residents say Seema is an inspiration for other women who aspire to make a living for themselves and their households.

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).
