The Disabled Person Welfare Society, Hoshiarpur, convened a meeting led by president Sandeep Sharma, Cashier Kamal and General Secretary Raj Kumar, deciding to organise a T-20 cricket tournament for the blind in the near future. The move received unanimous support.

Additionally, the society resolved to increase membership opportunities for the physically-abled individuals, with a provision that 40 per cent of the members would be from this category. This is aimed at enhancing operational efficiency.

The meeting also reviewed the recently-held Teachers’ Day programme, which was widely appreciated by the attendees. Special gratitude was extended to guest speaker Dr Nirmala, Prof Pooja Vashisht and Principal Deshvir Sharma.

Rajdeep Singh and Pawan Kumar were appointed as executive members.

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).
