A drug awareness camp was held at the School of Eminence in Banga, aimed at sensitising students about the dangers of substance abuse. The event was organized by the Indian Red Cross Society’s Integrated Rehabilitation Center for Addicts (IRCA), Nawanshahr, under the guidance of Shivdular Singh, IAS (Retd), Honorary Secretary of the Indian Red Cross Society, Punjab State Branch, and in collaboration with the "Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan."

The camp was presided over by Principal Amrik Singh and witnessed participation from faculty and students.

Chaman Singh, Project Director of IRCA, highlighted the vulnerability of teenagers to drug abuse due to peer pressure and psychological stress during adolescence.

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).
