The District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Kapurthala, organised a seminar on Tuesday at the Central Jail, Kapurthala, to mark Human Rights Day. The event was led by Rajwant Kaur, Chief Judicial Magistrate-cum-Secretary, DLSA, Kapurthala.

During her address, Rajwant Kaur highlighted the significance of safeguarding the rights of inmates and ensuring access to justice through the Free Legal Aid Scheme. She emphasised the authority’s commitment to providing legal assistance to those in need.

She also informed the gathering that, on the last Friday of every month, a team of doctors visited the jail to conduct health check-ups for inmates.

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).
