Chandigarh, January 30

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Sunday that all Republic Day celebrations hereon would be a week-long celebration beginning January 23 until January 30.

January 23 is the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and January 30 is the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi—the two leaders he paid tributes to in the first broadcast of his monthly ‘Mann ki Baat’ for 2022.

This is the 85th edition overall of the monthly broadcast.

He visited Raj Ghat earlier in the day with President Ram Nath Kovind to pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi.

Modi mentioned this year’s Republic Day parade and the recent installation of Bose’s statue at India Gate.

He also paid tributes to the unsung heroes who won Padma awards this year.

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).
