To pay tributes to soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice during the 1999 Kargil conflict, the Dras Thunder Motorcycle Rally was flagged off on its next leg from the Veer Smriti war memorial in Chandimandir today.

The rally will cover a distance of 1,029 km via Pathankot, Palampur, Nagrota and Srinagar before culminating at the Kargil War Memorial in Dras to commemorate the Rajat Jayanti of Kargil Vijay Diwas.

The team comprises Indian Army personnel, war veterans of Operation Vijay, next of kin of bravehearts and Dras locals. Besides paying homage to war heroes, the rally seeks to inspire young generation through motivational talks planned enroute at Jalandhar and Jammu. The team will also meet gallantry award winners, veterans and war widows during their journey.

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).
