President Droupadi Murmu and her French counterpart Emanuel Macron arrived on the Kartavya Path here for India’s 75th Republic Day celebrations in a traditional buggy, which made a comeback after 40 years.

The presidents were escorted by the President’s Bodyguard – rashtrapati ke angrakshak. The President’s Bodyguard is the senior most regiment of the Indian Army.

This Republic Day is special for this elite Regiment as the angrakshak have completed 250 years of service since its raising in 1773.

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).
