The New Mehak Cultural Forum in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, organised a mushiara at the Harpal Tiwana Auditorium today.

People from Malerkotla, Sangrur, Lehra and Chandigarh got an opportunity to listen to some good poets. Padam Shri Pran Sabharwal was the chief guest and Avtar Arora, a noted film personality, was guest of honour. Dharamveera Gandhi, MP, were among the dignitaries present. Parminder Shokh from Patiala started the proceedings with his recital of Urdu poetry.

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).
