New Delhi, November 16

Vice Chief of the Navy Vice Admiral SN Ghormade said today the Navy was seeing a rapid change occurring in the Indian Ocean Region and efforts were needed to ensure that force level grew progressively to meet the emerging challenges.

He was speaking to the media after he announced the commissioning of stealth guided missile destroyer “Visakhapatnam” and Kalvari class submarine “Vela”.

“We live in times when global and regional balances of power are shifting rapidly and the region of most rapid change is undoubtedly the Indian Ocean Region,” he said. “Visakhapatnam” will be commissioned on November 21 and ‘Vela’ on November 25.

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).
