Una, December 11

Rural Development Minister Virender Kanwar today paid tributes to former Vice-Chief of the Indian Staff Lt Gen SK Patial at Thanakalan village in Bangana subdivision.

General Patial hailed from Hatli village in Bangana subdivision and had been residing in Delhi, where died of Covid recently.

General Patial was commissioned into the Indian Army in 1979 in the Gorkha Rifles and retired as the Vice-Chief of the Army Staff in 2018. His wife Maj Gen Sagarika Patial served in the Army Medical Corps.

Kanwar said despite being born in a small village of Kutlehar segment, he rose to a high rank due to his dedication and hard work.

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).
