As many as 604 women constables of the 489th General Duty Batch were inducted into the ranks of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) at the Basic Training Centre in Bhanu near Chandigarh on Saturday.

The passing out parade was reviewed by Sanjeev Raina, Additional Director General, Western Command. Addressing the gathering, he exhorted the personnel to strive for excellence in all fields and uphold the traditions of the force.

During their 44-week-long training, they were taught drill, weapon handling, map reading, field craft, self-defence, firing and anti-terrorist operations, along with other service-related topics.

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).
