Chandigarh, June 29

Ex-servicemen from the tricity have asked Punjab Governor and UT Administrator VP Singh Badnore to convene a meeting of the Rajya Sainik Board (RSB), which has not been held for the past four years, to redress various issues pertaining to the armed forces personnel and veterans.

In a letter to Badnore, who is also ex-officio president of the Punjab RSB, ex-servicemen have raised issues such as implementation of electoral rights of serving soldiers, sharing of canteen profits and expenditure incurred on the Defence Service Welfare Department. — 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).
