Lohri was celebrated with great zeal at the school Patiala. A special assembly was conducted by Jasmine House wherein Rajneet Kaur of Class VII spoke about the history and relevance of the winter festival. She shared that it is a regional winter festival in which “we lit sacred bonfire, pray, dance, sing and enjoy different winter delicacies strengthening the bond with family and friends”. Students of Class V recited a poem and girls presented gidda. A sacred bonfire was lit to mark the festival. Students were fully engrossed in festive vibes. Students were made aware of Makar Sankranti as well which is celebrated on the next day by flying kites and praying the Sun God. Officiating Principal Sukhjeet Kaur wished ‘Happy Lohri’ to the students and staff.

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).
