New Delhi, January 25

On the golden jubilee of Himachal Pradesh’s statehood, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday greeted the people of the state and hoped that it keeps setting new standards of development and continues to contribute to the country’s progress.

Himachal Pradesh was declared a state on January 25, 1971.

Best wishes to the people of the state on the completion of 50 years of full statehood, Modi said in a tweet in Hindi.

“May the state, known for its natural beauty and beautiful tourist destinations, keep setting new standards of development and continue to contribute to the progress of the country,” the prime minister said. PTI

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).
