Faridkot, June 26

In a drive against drugs, students of Akal Academy schools in Faridkot participated in the ‘World’s Largest Hand Impression’ campaign.

This unique initiative aimed to set records in both the ‘World Book of Records, UK’ and the ‘Limca Book of Records’ while symbolically taking an oath against drug abuse. The event witnessed a turnout of 711 students from various Akal Academy schools of the district.

Akal Academy Jand Sahib Principal Sushil Sunita said these hand impressions were then photographed and uploaded to a web portal managed by the Kalgidhar Trust.

“We are always eager to engage in such impactful activities. We firmly believe that children must be instilled with strong values from an early age.”

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).
