A 99-year-old veteran, Sardar Sujan Singh, was felicitated by a team of Indian Navy personnel and other naval veterans at Karnal in Haryana on Friday, an official statement said.

“On behalf of Admiral R Hari Kumar, Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Singh was presented an appreciation letter, CNS crest, a memento and a ‘Proud Naval Veteran’ cap,” it said.

Singh, a naval veteran in his 100th year, was felicitated by a team of Indian Navy personnel and naval veterans at Karnal, the Indian Navy’s statement noted.

The CNS spoke on video call to Singh and wished him continued good health and happiness for the future, it stated. —

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).
