Patiala, September 20

Patiala Locomotive Works (PLW) organised a mega voluntary blood donation camp at its hospital as per the instructions of the Department of Health and Family Welfare and Health Directorate, Railway Board.

Organisers said the blood bank was aimed at helping thalassemia patients by providing them free units of blood. The camp was inaugurated by HR Soni, principal chief material manager, and others. They said 102 railway and non-railway individuals including, Ashish Mehrotta donated blood platelets during the event. Anil Kumar, chief pharmacist, donated blood for the 49th time.

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).
