Fatehgarh Sahib, July 12

An awareness seminar was organised to mark World Population Day at the Civil Hospital here.

Dr Jagdish Singh, acting Civil Surgeon, said it was the dire need of the hour to control the growing population. He said due to overpopulation, poverty, hunger, unemployment, illiteracy and inflation continued to rise. He said to make people aware of these problems, health workers would conduct seminars on population control and provide information on family planning.

An awareness seminar was also held at the Primary Health Centre, Chanarathal. SMO Raminder Kaur said the world population was going to hit the 8 billion mark in the current year.

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).
