Lohri was observed for 5,100 girls simultaneously at a farmhouse near here on Sunday. The event, organised by the owner of Johal Farms, an NRI, was graced by Gurpreet Kaur Mann, wife of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who was the chief guest. Addressing the gathering, she emphasised the importance of gender equality and the need to honour daughters. The celebration highlighted the significance of empowering women and ensuring their inclusion in all festivities.

Gurpreet Kaur Mann lauded the efforts of the organisers for promoting such a noble cause.

Several local leaders, social activists and public figures came together to support the initiative. Cultural programmes, including traditional folk performances, were part of the celebration.

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).
