Jalandhar, June 27

An online singing contest for the visually impaired titled ‘The Voice of Saksham’ was organised by NGO Saksham with the support of Canara Bank here on Monday.

The contest marked the birthday of Helen Keller, an American author, who suffered from hearing and visual disabilities. Youth from Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh participated in this competition.

Dr Meenu Chopra from Lovely Professional University attended the event as the chief guest. Seema Anand Chopra from a media house was present as the guest of honour.

Among the contestants from Punjab, Radhika Ahuja got first place. Second place went to Ranjan and third place was bagged by Vir Singh. Deepak, Saima and Shadma from Haryana and Ravi, Kuldeep and Srishti from Himachal Pradesh were victorious. The winners were presented laptops, tabs and daisy players.

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).
