Phagwara, January 10

The festival of Lohri was celebrated with great fanfare today by Bharat Gaurav Sansthan at Hadiabad, a sub-town of Phagwara.

The event was presided over by district BJP president Ranjit Singh Khojewal and former Union Minister of State Vijay Sampla was the chief guest.

Singers Jasbir Mahi, Feroze Khan and Buta Muhammad sang Lohri songs and a cultural programme was presented by the school students and local people.

Sampla appreciated the efforts of the organisation for boosting the spirits of the people by involving them in such programmes and keeping the culture alive.

A large number of people, including Ashu Sampla, Ashok Duggal, Neetu Duggal, Rahul Pandit, Raj Kumar, Chanda Mishra, Bharti Sharma, Om Prakash Bittu, and Anurag Mankhand were present at the event. Peanuts and blanket kits were distributed to newborn children.

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).
