Mandi, January 15

The Honorary Commissioned Officers Association of Himachal Pradesh (HCOWA) today praised the Indian Army on 74th Army Day here. Capt Jagdish Verma (Retd), president of the HCOWA, praised the role of the armed forces. He said the Indian Army was established on April 1, 1895, but when India got independence, it was on January 15, 1949, that General KM Kariappa took over the baton from British General Sir Francis Butcher.

“On this day, all command headquarters as well as the main headquarters in New Delhi celebrate the day by holding a parade,” said Captain Verma.

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).
