Six members of the 12-member rat-hole miners team, which played a pivotal role in rescuing 41 workers trapped inside a tunnel in Silkyara (Uttarakhand), were honoured here.

A delegation of the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee, led by its president Arvinder Singh Lovely, honoured them for their display of courage and selflessness during the rescue mission. Former Delhi Minister Narendra Nath was also present on the occasion.

The honoured miners included Munna Qureshi, Vakil Hassan, Feroz, Rashid Ansari, Nazim and Irshad, all residents of Shri Ram Colony, Karawal Nagar in North East Delhi.

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).
