Taking a pragmatic view of the situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China, Indian Army Chief General MM Naravane on Thursday said “incidents (at the border) would continue to happen till a long-term solution in the form of a boundary agreement was reached”.

General Naravane was referring to the un-demarcated LAC that is the de-facto boundary between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. The Himalayan ridge line that runs in an east-west direction has been considered a traditional boundary, but never has an agreed-upon border been demarcated on ground.

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).
