NCC cadets of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh (PHHP & C) Directorate, Chandigarh circle, paid their homage to freedom fighters at Abdul Hamid Memorial in Assal Uttar village (Khemkaran) on Wednesday. The NCC cadets are on a cycle rally from Hussainiwala to Delhi.

The cycle rally includes six men and an equal number of women NCC cadets besides an officer, an Associate NCC Officer and a permanent instructional staff. The rally reached here on Tuesday and was flagged off for Amritsar on Wednesday after covering a distance of 60 km. Alkesh Kumar Sinha, Commandant, 101 BSF Battalion and Lt Col Amritpal Singh, Officiating Commanding Officer, 1 Punjab Battalion, NCC, flagged off the cycle rally.

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).
