Ludhiana, October 1

Cabinet Minister Dr Baljit Kaur presided over a state-level event to mark International Elderly Day at Guru Nanak Bhawan here on Friday.

She said to overcome ‘isolation’ among the elderly, the “Pind di Satth” concept would be replicated in the urban areas of the state. “Loneliness is considered to be a silent killer of the elderly and must be eliminated promptly.”

Meanwhile, to address the grievances of the elderly at a faster pace, the government has launched a toll-free number (14567) for them.

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).
