He also laid a wreath at the Siachen war memorial to honour the bravehearts who have made the supreme sacrifice at the world’s highest battlefield. “Interacting with the troops, General Pande lauded them for their tenacity and perseverance under challenging conditions and also exhorted them to continue working with same zeal and motivation,” an official spokesperson of the Army said.

Rajnath had on Wednesday, while participating in the 24th ‘Kargil Vijay Diwas’ at Dras, said no compromise would be made in protecting the sovereignty, unity and integrity of the country.

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).
