An Army jawan, who lost his life due to medical complications while on duty in Ladakh, was cremated with military honours in his native village on the outskirts of Jammu city on Monday, officials said.

Northern Army Commander Lieutenant General Pratik Sharma and all ranks of the Northern Command paid homage to the braveheart. The general officer commanding (GOC), Fire and Fury Corps, along with all ranks, also saluted Lance Naik Saini.

The mortal remains of the jawan arrived from Leh to his home in Arnia Kalan village, wrapped in the national tricolour, officials mentioned. Lance Naik Saini was cremated with military honours as soldiers paid a solemn salute in his memory.

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).
