Patiala, June 28

Patiala Deputy Commissioner (DC) Sakshi Sawhney today facilitated an Army jawan who jumped into the Bhakra canal to save a girl from drowning here a few days ago.

She said: “We felicitated Sepoy Navaneetha Krishnan D for his selfless act of saving the life of a girl. On June 16, the jawan jumped into the canal and pulled the girl to safety.”

The incident took place near Passiana here. A video footage also went viral on the social media, which drew huge appreciation for the soldier. The public relations office of the Indian Army also congratulated the soldier.

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).
