New Delhi, December 3

On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said his government had taken many initiatives to create opportunities for them so as to enable them to shine.

He also praised the fortitude and accomplishments of the ‘divyang’ people.

“Our government is equally focused on accessibility, which is reflected in the flagship programmes and creation of next-gen infra. I would also like to acknowledge all those working at the grassroots to bring a positive difference in the lives of persons with disabilities,” he tweeted.

The day is observed on December 3 to raise people’s awareness about the rights of persons with disabilities and mobilise political will and resources to address the challenges facing them.

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).
