Union Minister for State Som Parkash has expressed his gratitude to the Defence Minister (DM) Rajnath Singh for increasing the age limit from 21 years to 23 years for the Army recruitment.

He said he proposed to the DM that the Army did not conduct any recruitment drive during the last two years due to the pandemic, and the aspirants work hard to earn an opportunity to serve the country so they deserved an increase in the age limit.

DM Rajnath Singh wrote a letter to Som Parkash after accepting his proposal. The DM also mentioned that under the Agnipath scheme, a notification of the recruitment had been issued. The process will begin on November 21 and last till December 5 this year in Hoshiarpur district.

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).
