Jalandhar, November 28

In a collaborative effort between the horticulture wing of Jalandhar Development Authority (JDA) and the NGO Phulkari, a plantation drive took place today at the Central Plaza in the commercial pocket of Urban Estate Phase-II.

Spearheaded by Dr Snigdha Mahajan, the team, including JDA officials Jagvir Singh (XEN) and Aditya Rattan (SDO), alongside members of team Phulkari, planted about 1,000 saplings of evergreen plants.

The green initiative aims to enhance the overall greenery and aesthetics of the area, providing a much-needed rejuvenation to the pocket. “Beyond the environmental benefits, it is anticipated that this effort will contribute to an increase in footfall, fostering a more vibrant and eco-friendlier urban environment,” said PUDA officials.

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).
