Patiala, May 11

Sunita and Pran Sabharwal of the National Theatre Arts Society (NTAS) organised their 261st monthly garden natak mela in collaboration with philanthropist Dr SP Singh Oberoi at Baradari Gardens here.

The chief guest at the event, Shivdular Singh Dhillon, a retired bureaucrat, said he was associated with the monthly garden theatre movement since its inception in the year 2001 and had been keenly watching their activity, for which Pran Sabharwal was awarded the Padma Shri.

The plays presented by Sunita–Pran Sabharwal included Ajmer Aulakh’s ‘Avaisley Uddhan Di Naika’, Dr Harcharan Singh’s ‘Kirat Da Satkar’, ‘Viksit Bharat’ and humorous Kaka-Pataka.

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).
