Blue Bird High School, Panchkula, students celebrated World Post Day. A special educational visit for school students to the local Post Office, Sector 8, Panchkula, was organised. They bought inland letters, festival envelopes, stamps and postcards. They were introduced to various postal operations, including mail sorting, stamp cancellation, booking of speed post and parcels, and the functioning of the savings bank and philately sections by the officials of the post office. The post office staff also explained the journey of a letter from the post box to its destination, giving students insight into the traditional postal network. An interactive session was held where students asked questions about stamps, delivery timelines, and how technology is now integrated into postal services.

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).
