The district-level Himachal Day celebrations in Shimla will be held with grandeur at the historic Ridge on April 15, as announced by Deputy Commissioner Anupam Kashyap during a review meeting on the event’s preparations.

Highlighting the significance of the occasion, DC Kashyap revealed that the programme would feature an impressive parade, with participation from Shimla Police, Traffic Police, Home Guards, NSS, Scouts and Guides, SDRF, Indian Police Reserve Battalion, and disaster volunteers. The parade rehearsals are scheduled to begin on April 11 to ensure a seamless performance on the big day. Adding to the festive spirit, the event will also include cultural performances by schoolstudents.

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).
