Major General Rajpal Punia, who led the Indian Peace Keeping Force in Sierra Leone as a Major, today stated that the 75-day-long ‘Operation Khukri’ carried out in the West African country in 2000 was a story of exemplary courage.

Major General Punia recently penned ‘Operation Khukri’, which is co-authored by his daughter, Damini. The book was published by Penguin Random House India and is set to be republished in Hindi by Rajkamal Prakashan. — TNS

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).
