Nurpur, June 29

President of India Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday conferred the much-coveted Param Vishisht Seva Medal (PVSM) on Virender Singh Pathania of Ladori village, Nurpur, during the Defence Investiture Ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi. Pathania had recently retired from the position of the Director General (DG) of the Indian Coast Guard.

President Murmu conferred a total of 84 Distinguish Service Awards on serving and retired Indian Armed Forces and Coast Guard personnel for their distinguished services. Pathania is one of 28 recipients of the PVSM.

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).
