Jalandhar, September 18

To commemorate 50 years of the 1965 Indo-Pak war, the Vajra Corps today remembered the four Mahavir Chakra recipients, Major Asa Ram Tyagi, Lt Col (Later Brig) Desmond E Hayde and Major General Gurbaksh Singh, who led the battle from the front.

Yesterday, the Indian Air Force (IAF) also planned various adventure activities. As a part of these activities a micro-light expedition and powered hang glider (PHG) expedition was also organised by Air Force.

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).
