The Indian Army Sailing Vessel Triveni (IASV Triveni), crewed by women officers from the Indian Armed Forces, has reached Perth, Australia, completing the first leg of its globe-circling expedition, Mission ‘Samudra Pradakshina’ — the first-ever tri-service all-women circumnavigation of the world.

The arrival marks a key milestone in a nine-month voyage that began at the Gateway of India, Mumbai, on September 11. Women officers from the Army, Navy and Air Force are sailing aboard the indigenously built IASV Triveni on an easterly route covering roughly 26,000 nautical miles.

The yacht is scheduled to depart for Lyttelton, New Zealand, on November 8, before proceeding to Port Stanley in the South Atlantic.

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).
