Chandigarh, August 14

Nexus Elante Mall has come up with a life-size replica of Statue of Unity, a monumental tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, at the mall atrium.

Notably, Nexus Elante honours country’s freedom fighters, every year, by selecting an iconic figure to celebrate on Independence Day through a larger-than-life installation in new forms and styles.

Past installations have included grand tributes such as the Gyarah Murti and Subhash Chandra Bose's army.

These exhibits are part of a series that also features photographs, stories, and artifacts showcasing the bravery and sacrifices of those who fought for India’s independence.

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).
