Jammu, December 18

To review operational preparedness at the world’s highest battlefield, Siachen Glacier, Lt-Gen Ranbir Singh, Northern Command chief, visited forward posts on Wednesday.

He was accompanied by Lieutenant-General Harinder Singh, General Officer Commanding, Fire & Fury Corps. While interacting with troops deployed at the forward posts, Lt-Gen Ranbir Singh complimented them for their tenacity and high morale. He exhorted them to continue to maintain a high order of fitness and operational readiness.

He also urged the troops to remain alert to the challenges posed by the inclement weather and glacial conditions. The world’s highest and arduous battlefield is not just tough but also dangerous for soldiers due to hostile weather conditions and avalanches. In November this year, six soldiers and two civilian porters were killed in avalanches.

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).
