Chandigarh, May 3

The Governor of Punjab and Administrator of Chandigarh, Banwarilal Purohit, presented the Police Medal for Meritorious Service to 46 personnel of the BSF at an investiture held here today.

The recipients included an officer of the rank of Inspector General, five Deputy Inspectors General, 17 Commandants, eight other officers and 15 subordinate officers. Of them, 10 recipients have retired.

Felicitating the BSF personnel, the Governor lauded their role in securing the national borders under challenging conditions and changing adversities. He also appreciated the civic programmes undertaken by the force in border regions to instil confidence in the local population.

Earlier, the Additional Director General, Western Command, BSF, PV Rama Sastry, highlighted the history and role of the force. He listed out its recent achievements while undertaking border duties.

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).
