A recruitment rally for aspiring Agniveers from the Una, Hamirpur and Bilaspur districts is set to take place on January 17 at the Anu sports ground in Hamirpur. The Recruiting Officer for Hamirpur, Col BS Bhandari, said participants would undergo dope tests to detect the use of performance-enhancing drugs during physical assessments. The Army, in collaboration with the state health department, has arranged for comprehensive medical diagnostic tests, with 18 to 20 different types scheduled to be conducted at the rally. Col Bhandari emphasised youths found using performance-enhancing substances will face legal consequences.

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).
