Patiala, August 8

The National Theatre Arts Society (NTAS) in co-operation with North Zone Cultural Centre and Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust observed 264th Natak Mela in dedication of a young theatre artist Sanket Handa who died untimely in a fatal accident last month.

The three-hour festival organised by duo Pran Sabharwal and Sunita Sabharwal at Baradari Garden Theatre complex included sensitising Punjabi plays aiming at activating the audiences against social evils like ‘Viksat Bharat’, Dr Harcharan Singh’s, ‘Kirat Da Satkar’ based on Guru Nanak’s teachings.

On this occasion, the admirers donated money towards deceased artist’s bereaved family fund.

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).
