Governor of Punjab Gulab Chand Kataria will lead a two-day ‘People’s Walk Against Drugs’ under the Nasha Mukt-Rangla Punjab Campaign on December 10 and 11. This initiative, part of the national Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan, underscores the need for collective action and community participation to combat the pervasive issue of substance abuse.

The walk, organised in partnership with the Red Cross Society and guided by noted social worker and writer Khushwant Singh, will mobilise citizens to unite against drug addiction.

On December 10, the journey will begin from Beas village, home to 114-year-old marathoner Fauja Singh, and will culminate in Bathan village in Jalandhar district.

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).
