Chandigarh, January 1

The Army’s Western Command ushered in the new decade with the operationalisation of its official social media accounts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts on Friday.

The official accounts of the Western Command can be accessed at @westerncomd_IA, Western Command and @westerncomd_indianarmy,respectively.

Lieutenant General RP Singh, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief Western Command, posted the inaugural tweets and messages on all three platforms.

While acknowledging the strength of social media, which has maximum reach especially amongst youth, he emphasised the need to use these platforms to keep the veterans and civilian population abreast on matters concerning national security and the contribution of the Western Command in the nation building.

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).
