Kargil Vijay Diwas — which marks India’s victory over Pakistan in the 1999 Kargil War — was observed on Saturday in Hisar, as ex-servicemen and administrative officers paid tributes to the brave soldiers who laid down their lives for the nation.

The district administration and several ex-servicemen gathered at the Martyrs’ Memorial near the Mini-Secretariat here to pay tributes to the soldiers who had made the supreme sacrifice in the war.

After offering tributes at the memorial, Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Jyoti Mittal said the war was an extremely challenging battle, in which the Army had displayed unparalleled courage.

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).
