Patiala, February 24

The Army will award Lance Naik Salim Khan, who was a resident of Mardanheri village of Sanaur, Patiala, with a Sena Medal. The soldier was killed in the line of duty on June 25, 2020, when his boat capsized in Ladakh. Representatives from the Army today reached his village to present an invitation letter to his family members. He will be awarded the medal on National Security Day (March 4) in Pathankot.

Lance Naik Salim Khan (24), who was unmarried, is survived by an elder brother, a sister and his mother. His father died in the line of duty years ago.

Villagers are also setting up a sports stadium which was announced by the Amarinder government. Sarpanch Jagdeep Singh said the announcement for the stadium was made by the state government, but its work has not yet begun. —

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).
