Chandigarh, December 16

To commemorate India’s win over Pakistan in the 1971 war that led to the creation of Bangladesh, Vijay Diwas was observed at the Chandimandir Military Station today, where homage was paid to the fallen soldiers.

A wreath-laying ceremony was organised at the Veer Smriti, a war memorial, where the officiating Chief of Staff, Western Command, Maj Gen GS Kahlon, paid floral tributes to the martyrs of the war. The occasion marked the culmination of the year-long Swarnim Vijay Varsh, which celebrated India’s victory.

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).
