Patiala, June 3

As part of the celebrations leading to 75th year of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, students participated in a cycle rally on World Bicycle Day at Punjabi University here today. Vice-Chancellor Prof Arvind led from the front and rode bicycle with students for 7 km.

VC Arvind said, “Health should be a paramount concern now-a-days and bicycle can go a long way in mitigating health issues like cardiovascular disorders. In addition, one can save petrol in these times of high inflation.” Head of Psychology Department-cum-NSS head Mamta Sharma helped to organise the rally. Dr Kiran, ANO Satvir Singh, lecturer Harpreet Singh, and other staff members also participated in the rally.

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).
