Shimla Municipal Corporation Mayor Surender Chauhan today paid tributes to Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai on his death anniversary here. He remembered Lala Lajpat Rai’s courage and contribution to India’s freedom movement and said that the nation would always remember his legacy.

Chauhan emphasised the significance of honouring India’s great sons, who had paved the way for the country’s independence. He paid floral tributes to the freedom fighter.

Artistes of the Information and Public Relations Department sang patriotic songs and bhajans on the occasion. Deputy Mayor Uma Kaushal, Deputy Commissioner Anupam Kashyap, SP Sanjeev Kumar Gandhi, and other high-ranking officers attended the function.

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).
