Punjab Governor and Chandigarh Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria launched the ‘Nasha Mukt- Rangla Punjab Campaign’ on Gurpurb, marking the martyrdom day of the ninth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Teg Bahadur.

The Governor said this campaign would be aligned with the ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan’, a national initiative led by the Ministry of Social Justice. While addressing the challenge of cross-border drugs and arms smuggling through drones, Kataria said, “Punjab has a 533km international border, which makes the issue of drug and arms smuggling a big challenge. But the agencies have been making efforts to engage with local village committees to tackle this challenge.”

He added that Punjab had received 26 anti-drone systems to combat cross border drone smuggling.

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).
