Itanagar, February 3

Arunachal Pradesh CM Pema Khandu on Thursday hoisted a 104-ft tall monumental National Flag at Ngangpa Natme (Buddha Park) at Tawang, a Buddhist pilgrim town bordering China.

Talking to the media later, Khandu, while congratulating the people of the state, said the monumental flag had been hoisted and dedicated to all patriotic people of Arunachal Pradesh and is the second highest monumental national flag at an altitude of 10,000 feet.

He congratulated the Army, the Sashastra Seema Bal, Indo-Tibetan Border Police, Tawang administration and MLA Tsering Tashi for the feat. Taking to twitter, Khandu said, “Proud to dedicate to patriotic people of Arunachal a 104-ft national flag, which was hoisted today at Ngangpa Natme (Buddha Park).” —

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).
