Jalandhar, August 5

Under the Shaheed Bhagat Singh Haryaval Lehar launched by the state government, one lakh saplings have been distributed by the Forest Department in Kapurthala district so far.

Under the drive, 10 fruit trees each were planted in 700 government schools, besides giving special attention to plant “Triveni” — trees of neem, peepal and banyan — which are helpful in environment protection.

DC Vishesh Sarangal directed the Forest Department to speed up the campaign and asked them to plant more local and fruit plants.

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).
