Pune, May 28

In view of the coronavirus pandemic, the passing-out parade (PoP) at the National Defence Academy (NDA) here will be held in a “scaled down” manner.

“The passing-out parade will be held on May 30 in a scaled down manner,” the premier defence training institute stated in a release on Thursday.

“In view of the nationwide lockdown, parents of the cadets will not be able to attend the parade,” the release added.

The parade of graduating cadets is a long-cherished tradition.

“As a training institution, NDA has quickly adapted to a new normal and is able to complete the spring term,” stated the academy.

“But there are still a lot of end of term activities which form part of passing out of a cadet from the academy after three years of rigorous training,” it added. PTI

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).
