The mountain expedition, flagged off on Wednesday, aims to test the resilience, adaptability, physical and mental endurance of the participants. During their nine-day trek, the team will traverse 120 kilometres through harsh mountainous terrain, unpredictable weather and freezing temperatures. With strong winds and temperatures dropping to extreme low, the soldiers will only have their training and each other to rely upon. Beyond the mountaineering feat, the expedition will also serve as a platform for community outreach, interaction with veterans residing in remote areas as also to spread awareness on environmental conservation.

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).
