Jalandhar, October 23

To make Diwali celebrations of thalassemics special, Thalassemic Children Welfare Society organised a programe in the thalassemia ward of the Civil Hospital, Jalandhar. MS Dr Rajiv Sharma started the function by lighting candles in the ward along with Dr Navneet, Dr Gurpinder Kaur, blood bank staff, and members of Agaaz and TCWS.

Agaaz members distributed gifts and refreshments to thalassemics. TCWS gaveRs 500 to all thalassemic children for getting the gift of their choice. TCWS general secretary TS Bhatia thanked all the participants.

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).
