Shimla, June 14

Lieutenant General Manjinder Singh, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Army Training Command (ARTRAC), unveiled the Thematic Park ‘Veerta Sthal’ in Shimla. The park has been built in recognition of the soldier’s contribution and it also highlights the onerous responsibility that ARTRAC fulfils in training the soldiers.

An ARTRAC spokesperson said that Indian Army is the nation’s first line of defence and the Army Training Command headquarters in Shimla is entrusted with training the soldiers. “With Himachal being a major contributor to the Indian Army, it was felt that it would be most appropriate to develop a Theme Park in Shimla in recognition of the soldier’s contribution. It will be a source of motivation for youth, both locals and tourists,” the spokesperson said.

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).
