Maharishi Dayanand Public School, Daria, Chandigarh, organised a poster-making competition on the occasion of World Population Day in collaboration with the Environment Department, Chandigarh. Students expressed concern over increase in population and its effect on environment through their posters. In the junior category Lovepreet, Luxmi, Hemat and Anisha-Khushi received first, second, third and consolation prizes, respectively, while in senior category Sakshi, Namrata, Ankita and Ankita- Mansi got first, second, third and consolation prizes, respectively. Speaking on the occasion school principal Dr. Vinod Kumar said that a common man suffered the most due to increase in population and it was important to control it.

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).
