Shimla, September 16

Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar today visited Mastrang Chitkul and Nagesti Post of II Corps of the Indian Tibet Border Police (ITBP) on the International Border in Kinnaur district.

The Governor tied rakhis, sent by children from different schools of Goa, on the wrists of the soldiers. On the occasion, women soldiers also tied rakhis to the Governor.

The Governor said children had written their names, mentioned their school and the class they belong to on these rakhis. He said one of their organisations used to collect rakhis every year from children in Goa to be sent to the soldiers.

He said last year also, when he visited the border areas of Lahaul-Spiti, he tied these rakhis to the jawans.

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).
