Uttarakhand Governor Lieutenant General Gurmit Singh (retd) said the battle at Galwan with China in June 2020 was fought with the spirit instilled by the Saragarhi battle.

WPO president Vikramjit Singh Sahney, who is a Rajya Sabha member, said: “A chapter on the Saragarhi battle should be included in the curriculum.”

He announced Rs 50 lakh for the renovation of the Saragarhi memorial in Ferozepur.

Sahney demanded that another memorial commemorating the battle be constructed in the Capital. Former Army Chief General JJ Singh (retd) reminded the audience that the battle was fought to “the last man and the last round”.

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).
