A wave of unity against drug abuse swept through Jalandhar as over 6,500 individuals took an oath to create a ‘Rangla Punjab’ during the ‘Daurda Punjab’ marathon, organised under the Punjab Government’s ‘Yudh Nashian Virudh’ campaign.

The event, organised by the Jalandhar District Administration and supported by CT Group, Radio Mirchi, Thind Hospital and Lovely Bake Studio, saw enthusiastic participation at Guru Gobind Singh Stadium. Deputy Commissioner Dr Himanshu Aggarwal and Police Commissioner Dhanpreet Kaur led the 3-kilometre run, urging people to turn the anti-drug campaign into a mass movement.

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).
