New Delhi: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will formally launch a series of events virtually from New Delhi on Friday. This will include unfurling of National Flag at 75 places to commemorate 75 years of Independence. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) will unfurl the National Flag at 75 places. The most prominent among them is Umling La ‘a pass’, which is the highest motorable road in the world at 19,300 ft, in Eastern Ladakh. The Indian Army will launch expeditions to scale 75 mountain passes to mark this momentous occasion. 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).
