Panchkula, December 3

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Indian victory in the 1971 war with Pakistan, the Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement (IESM) paid homage to the martyrs at the War Memorial here today.

Brig Kiran Krishan (retd), convener, IESM, North Haryana, said the Armed Forces continued to bear the heavy burden of guarding national honour at a great cost and it was time for the nation to reflect on the sacrifices they continued to make every day. The policy makers ought to ensure that the soldiers were given adequate wherewithal to carry out their tasks. Mayor Kulbhushan Goyal sent his good wishes to the veterans fraternity. — 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).
