Over 10,000 runners participated in a marathon aimed at creating awareness against drugs. The Jakhar Trust organised the sixth edition of the marathon as part of the “Nashon se Door, Khelon ki Aur” campaign launched by IFFCO’s former chairman Surinder Jakhar nearly two decades ago.

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).
