A mountaineering expedition of the Indian Army is doing a unique climb. It will be scaling five peaks on the remote Teram Shehr glacier that lies just east of the Siachen glacier in Ladakh. Army mountaineers from Ladakh Scouts Regiment will attempt scaling ‘Apsarasas 1, Apsarasas II, Apsarasas III, PT-6940 and PT-7140. The Apsarasas are all above 23,660 ft and form the eastern-most edge of the Siachen subgroup of the Karokaram range of mountains. These peaks overlook the western edge of the Depsang plateau. — TNS

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).
