DAV Senior Secondary Public School celebrated the promotion of its distinguished alumnus, Maj Gen Girish Kalia, to the rank of Lieutenant General with effect from December 1.

Lt Gen Kalia, a proud son of Shimla, was commissioned into the Madras Regiment in December 1991. With an illustrious career spanning over 34 years, he has held several challenging appointments in India and abroad, including command of a frontline division in Kashmir . Naresh Dhaulta, Divisional Manager, HPSFDC, and a close friend of the officer, highlighted that Lt Gen Girish was one of the brightest students at school.

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).
