Amritsar, November 19

A local youth, Tarundeep Singh (34), has scaled Mount Kilimanjaro, world’s highest free-standing mountain in Africa, earlier this month. After returning to city, Tarundeep Singh said that he completed the 95 km trek in seven days to climb atop the 19,341 feet high mountain.

“I have a passion for trekking and climbing. Mount Kilimanjaro being the the world’s largest volcano, I had always dreamed of reaching there,” said Tarun, who had earlier trekked to Mount Everest base camp earlier this year.

A businessman by profession, Tarundeep said after the trek to Mount Everest base camp, it was his first expedition and he planned to visit more such places in future. He claimed that he was the first person from Punjab to have completed the trek.

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).
