Walkathon to spread awareness against drug abuse

Organised by author and co-founder of the Punjab Lit Foundation, Khushwant Singh, the walk commenced with an ardas (prayer) at Chaunni Kalan village, seeking divine blessings to rejuvenate Punjab’s youth and free them from the clutches of addiction.

Punjab governor Gulab Chand Kataria, while announcing the Nasha Mukt-Rangla Punjab campaign in Amritsar on Friday, had urged the civil society to actively support the people’s walk against drugs. The governor will join the walk on December 10 and 11, covering 15 km along the Alawalpur-Kartarpur road. (HT File)

Guest column: Remembering the Sardarji in the bulb and his Sardarni

We were privileged to have been granted a moment — a memory — with one of the finest writers of our times, a man whose stories, much like the man himself, would never fade.

Our paths crossed with Khushwant Singh many times thereafter — at Pingalwara, where he donated generously; in Delhi, at E-49, his red-brick Sujan Singh Park apartment, where a sign on his door read, “Do not ring the doorbell unless you are expected”; and in Kasauli, where conversations flowed freely.
