Born on August 17, 1920, Parmanand was inducted in the British Army in 1940 and was sent to fight in Singapore in 1942. He was eventually inducted in the INA in Japan.

Parmanand had actively participated in the recent Har Ghar Tiranga initiative and was also part of 2018 Republic Day parade. He was cremated at his village with state honours.

“He was the last of the inspiring league. He may have left us but what he lived for will keep inspiring generations not just from village but the entire state,” said Pataudi MLA Satya Prakash Jarawata.

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).
