Ropar, July 31

Ropar MP Prem Singh Chandumajra has said the Army’s proposed Selection Centre (North) would not be shifted from here to Jalandhar. Recently, media reports stated that the Army was mulling to shift the proposed centre to Jalandhar citing many reasons, including poor rail and road connectivity, lack of military hospital and no army unit in vicinity to provide inherent security to the centre.

Chandumajra said Union Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had assured him that the centre would be set up at Ropar only.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
