Kapurthala, July 12

The Horticulture Department will start planting 7,000 fruit saplings in government schools in the district from July 15.

The campaign will be launched by Deputy Commissioner Vishesh Sarangal covering nearly 700 government schools in the district. The DC also directed the Horticulture Department and the School Education Department to form joint teams for this campaign, besides ensuring maintenance of the plants.

Gurinder Singh Dhanjal, Deputy Director, Horticulture, said under the leadership of Shalindar Kaur, Director (Horticulture), Punjab, the target was to plant 1.25 lakh fruit saplings in government schools in the state.

Horticulture Development Officer Manpreet Kaur said arrangements were being made for planting saplings of indigenous fruit plants like guava, mango, kinnow, etc, during the monsoon season.

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).
