New Delhi, August 11

The Navy has launched a mountaineering expedition to recover the bodies of two climbers who died last year while attempting to summit Mount Trishul, a 23,360-foot-high Himalayan massif, in Uttarakhand.

A team of the Navy will attempt to retrieve the bodies of Lt Cdr Shashank Tewari and Sherpa Dupka Tshering. During the summit attempt in September last year, an avalanche hit the climbers, leaving six dead.

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).
