Chamba, June 8

The Chamba Welfare Association, an NGO, has demanded the opening of an Ayurveda university and a herbal medicine factory in the district.

Association's president Om Prakash Goswami and general secretary SK Kashmiri said yesterday that they had submitted a proposal to the government for opening the facility in the region. "With the availability of rare herbs in abundance, the district is a hidden treasure of life-saving medicinal and aromatic plants. These plants can prove to be of great value not only for locals but also to the world as only a few of them are available elsewhere," Goswami said.

He said, "The region has potential to treat various diseases." The office-bearers claimed that the topography and climate make the district a suitable place for the facility and efforts would go a long way in preserving its biodiversity and promoting the traditional methods of medicinal practices.

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 four 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 paper. 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).
