Tarn Taran, September 9

Rich tributes were paid to Param Vir Chakra awardee Veer Abdul Hamid, hero of the 1965 Indo-Pak war by military personnel and representatives of the state government during a function organised at the memorial of the martyr at Asal Uttar here on Friday.

The function was organised by the Indian Army. Laying wreaths at the memorial of the martyr, Khemkaran MLA Sarwan Singh Dhunn remembered the courageous zeal of the warrior who destroyed eight Pakistani tanks and sacrificed his life while destroying the ninth tank in the Indo-Pak war.

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).
