Agriculture machinery manufacturer Sonalika Group has contributed Rs 4.50 crore for helping out the flood-affected in Punjab.

Industry Minister Sanjeev Arora said the company had donated Rs 50 lakh towards Chief Minister’s Rangla Punjab Vikas Fund under the Mission “Chardi Kala”. It had also donated 12 fully equipped ambulances, costing Rs 2 crore, to be used for holding medical camps in flood-affected areas. Senior vice-presidents of the company JS Chauhan and Rajnish Jain handed over the cheque to Arora on Friday. A press note said the group had also given tractors worth Rs 2 crore to farmers in flood-hit areas.

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).
