Chandigarh, September 28

The Regiment of Artillery celebrated the 195th Gunners Day at Chandimandir Military Station today. It was on this day in 1827 that 5th (Bombay) Mountain Battery, the first Indian artillery unit, was raised.

To mark the occasion, a solemn wreath-laying ceremony was held at the Veer Smriti war memorial in Chandimandir to pay homage to the bravehearts who had laid down their lives in the line of duty.

The Regiment of Artillery has performed consistently in all roles assigned, be it in active operations, on the sports field and other spheres of military endeavours. The Regiment continues to strive for excellence and live up to its motto of “Sarvatra Izzat-o-Iqbal”, meaning Omnipresence with Honour and Glory.

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).
