Jalandhar, October 21

Diwali celebrations were held in the kindergarten centre of Saksham Society for visually impaired on Friday.

The centre aims to train visually impaired kids so that they get integrated into normal schools. General secretary of the society Deepika Sood, social activist and executive member Seema Chopra, social activist Meenu Bagga, teachers and students of the centre had a gala time with the kids.

The kids recited Diwali related poetry. They were told stories related to Diwali and its religious significance. Sweets were distributed and light refreshment was shared.

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).
