Mandi, November 28

Tributes were paid to freedom fighter Bhai Hirda Ram in Mandi district today on his 134th birth anniversary. He fought against the British rule.

A floral tribute was paid on this statue at Indira Market here by Suman Thakur, president of the Municipal Council, Mandi, Harmeet Singh Bittu district president of the VHP and other local people of the town.

Prominent writer of Mandi KK Nutan threw light on the life of the freedom fighter and his struggle for the freedom of India.

Nutan said Bhai Hirda Ram was tortured by Britishers and was sentenced to life imprisonment along with freedom fighter Veer Savarkar. He was born in November 28, 1885. — TNS

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).
