Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has congratulated Naib Subedar Satish Kumar, deployed with Dogra IV Regiment, on being awarded the Vir Chakra for his prowess during the “Operation Sindoor”. Kumar hails from Samohali village, Buhala Bhadiyara gram panchayat, Jogindernagar subdivision, Mandi district.

The Chief Minister said Satish Kumar played a pivotal role during the “Operation Sindoor” in giving a befitting reply to the Pakistan army. Sukhu said Kumar’s bravery made the whole state proud.

“Himachal is known as “Veer Bhoomi” as Army personnel from the state have won various gallantry awards for their bravery in various operations,” Sukhu said.

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).
