New Delhi, March 27

The Ministry of Defence on Monday told the Rajya Sabha that recruitment and representation from Punjab into the Army had been proportionate to the demographic requirements of the state.

The MoD was responding to a written question by AAP MP Raghav Chadha.

Local military authorities and Army recruitment offices undertake extensive outreach programmes and publicity to educate and inform youth about opportunities in the Army within their jurisdictions, the MoD said.

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).
