To mark World Population Day, a nukkad natak was organised at AKSIPS-41B Smart School, Chandigarh, by renowned ‘Theatre for Theatre’ group. The performance aimed to raise awareness about the pressing issue of population explosion, highlighting the grim reality of another billion people being added to the global population every 12 years. The street play vividly depicted the consequences of overpopulation, including poverty, unemployment, lack of education and resource shortages.

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).
