The Child Welfare Committee (CWC) and Child Helpline in Sriganganagar stopped the marriage of a minor girl near Luv Kush Vatika in Gautam Buddha Nagar.

Child Helpline Coordinator Trilok Verma said they received information that the people of a community had arranged the marriage of a minor girl, so a team reached the venue and the girl’s parents were not able to present a valid ID to prove the girl was over 18.

The CWC said according to her Class 5 marksheet, the girl was born in May 2008. The police have been asked to keep a check on the family. — TNS

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).
