Fatehgarh Sahib, December 16

Baba Moti Ram Mehra Blood Donation Society, Fatehgarh Sahib, organised a blood donation camp at Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib on the eve of Sankranti here today. More than 100 units of blood were collected by the of PGI Blood Bank, Chandigarh, led by Dr Simranjit Kaur.

Addressing the gathering, Karnail Singh Panjoli, member of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, said there was an acute shortage of blood in the state and could be collected only through donations and could not be manufactured in factories. He said every drop of blood was precious as it saved lives. Panjoli called upon the youth to donate blood.

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).
