Chandigarh: The alumni association of DAV College (Lahore), Ambala, on Friday observed the 50th anniversary of the world tour by its students, Jagmohan Singh Kang and KK Gupta. A webinar to share their experiences was also organised. On July 17, 1970, two lads of the college had covered the country onto the global map and ended their tour in December. During their six-month tour, they visited Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Italy, Switzerland, France, England, Belgium, Germany and Austria besides other countries. TNS

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).
