Patiala, June 10

The National Theatre Arts Society (NTAS) under the patronage of North Zone Cultural Centre (NZCC) and in association with ‘Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust’ organised the 250th monthly Garden Natak Mela to mark their 23rd Annual Summer Theatre Festival at Baradari Gardens here.

The gathering lauded the NTAS directors Sunita and Pran Sabharwal for their regular contribution towards the theatre and social services in India and abroad.

NZCC director M Furqan Khan was appreciated for the patronage. Philanthropist SP Singh Oberoi (Dubai) was lauded for his efforts in keeping Punjabi theatre alive.

Five satirical plays IC Nanda’s ‘Suhaag’, Dr Harcharan Singh’s ‘Kirat Da Satkar’, Jatinder Brar’s ‘Sabj Bagh’ and Ajmer Aulakh’s ‘Awaisley Yudhan Di Naika’ and ‘Sukhi Kukh’were presented on the occasion.

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).
