Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) will soon upgrade its newly launched indigenous 4G mobile towers to deliver 5G services in Himachal Pradesh from next year. The announcement was made by Charan Singh, Chief General Manager of BSNL Himachal Pradesh Circle, during the company’s silver jubilee celebrations.

Calling the milestone a celebration of resilience, national service and indigenous technology, Singh highlighted BSNL’s financial recovery and future roadmap. He said the company has also rolled out secure e-SIM services, which will be formally launched soon. Singh also underlined the rapid expansion of BSNL's Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) services.

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).
