New Delhi, August 6

To celebrate 75 years of India’s Independence, commemorative visits are being undertaken by Navy ships to foreign ports in every continent.

Various activities and events are planned at each of these ports by Indian Missions on August 15. Tricolour will be hoisted onboard these ships in the presence of Indian diaspora and local dignitaries. The events are spread across six continents, three oceans and in six different time zones.

Navy crew will conduct band performances in public places and auditoriums and will have ships open for schoolchildren, diaspora and local population. INS Chennai and INS Betwa will be at Muscat (Oman), INS Trikand at Mombasa (Kenya), INS Sumedha at Perth (Australia), INS Satpura at San Diego (North America), INS Tarkash at Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and INS Tarangini at London.

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).
