Srinagar, June 27

Wevan in Bandipora district shot into national spotlight on Sunday when the PM cited its example in the Covid fight in ‘Mann ki Baat’. Wevan became the first Indian village to vaccinate all its adult population earlier this month. Bandipora DC Owais Ahmad said it was a pride moment.

Tariq Ahmad Patloo was another proud man as his efforts to provide floating ambulance service to the people living in Dal Lake also figured in Modi’s radio talk. “I feel proud and I hope this spotlight on my community will help us,” Patloo said. — PTI

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).
