Nurpur, July 26

Martyr Lavi Kumar’s family erected a statue in his honour at Dev-Bharari in Luharpura gram panchayat. His mother Surekha Devi unveiled the statue at their native village yesterday in the presence of the Nurpur SDM and DSP. A rain shelter was also built by the family to honour the memory of their son.

Lavi was inducted into the Army in 2016 and served the 9th Dogra Regiment for six years. He underwent training in Faizabad, from where he was traveling to Delhi and met with an accident in October 2022, succumbing to his injuries. After receiving special commando training Lavi was conferred the Inspector Grade.

Havildar Arun and Havildar Pradeep from the regiment participated in the unveiling ceremony. They said Lavi was a brave soldier who had completed the commando training successfully.

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).
