Mohan Sharma, former Project Director of the Red Cross Drug De-addiction Centre in Sangrur, has been invited by the Press Information Bureau (PIB) of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to speak at a media workshop on drug abuse, scheduled for November 5 in Jalandhar.

An author of five books on drug abuse, Sharma would serve as a speaker and resource person at the workshop. The ‘Vartalap’ initiative aims to promote meaningful dialogue and discussion between the government and the media on this critical issue.

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).
