More than 1,000 women of Amritsar North constituency have sent rakhis to Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a special event.

Thousands of residents from all walks of life attended the event organised to commemorate the unique bond of love, trust and joy of rakhi. The residents also hailed the armed forces for Operation Sindoor.

“The essence of trust and faith in our defence forces is our respect for their actions to preserve and uplift our great country’s esteem and dignity,” said Akshay Sharma, a BJP youth wing leader. “I will take all rakhis and hand it over to the Prime Minister, and convey the unlimited love and respect of each one of us,” Akshay Sharma added.

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).
