Una, December 7

Armed Forces Flag Day was observed in the district today. Lt Col SK Kalia (retd), Deputy Director of the District Sainik Welfare Board, pinned the armed forces flag on Deputy Commissioner Raghav Sharma’s coat.

Sharma said that the objective behind observing Armed Forces Flag Day was to remember soldiers, who had laid down their lives for the country and financially assist their families. He added, “Countrymen are proud of the martyrs and remember their valour and sacrifices on the occasion.”

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).
