The HP State Pensioners’ Association honoured 17 elderly government pensioners, including two women, at its 14th annual function on Saturday. For the past 14 years, the association has organised the ‘Samman Smaroh’ to recognise pensioners aged 75 and older from the lower Kangra areas.

Kangra District Treasury Officer (DTO) TS Khanna presided over the ceremony. Addressing the gathering, he urged pensioners to ensure they complete the necessary documentation when submitting their service and family pension cases. He stressed life pensions should be submitted between July and November each year to ensure smooth disbursement. Khanna also urged pension holders who retired after January 1, 2016, to submit their pension revision cases to his office, as he has now been empowered to process these requests.

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).
