Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today took a pledge for organ donation by registering on the Ayushman Bharat Organ Donation Registry, an initiative by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India.

Representatives from the State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (SOTTO), Dr Elias Sharma, Nodal Officer, Dr Sanjeev Puri, Joint Director, and Irfan Ahmed Lone, Transplant Coordinator visited Raj Bhawan and presented the Lieutenant Governor Sinha with the pledge certificate.

Sandeep Jain, president, and Monika Jain, general secretary of Bharatiya Jain Sangathan, Jammu and Kashmir, were also present during the ceremony.

This gesture follows L-G Sinha’s earlier expression of support for organ donation at a programme organised by Bharatiya Jain Sansthan on January 19.

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).
