Patiala, February 24

Senior Secondary Model School Punjabi University commemorated Group Captain Gurpreet Singh Cheema on his second death anniversary here today. Captain Cheema, who was imparting training to the cadets of NCC 3rd Air Squadron at Air Force Station, had died in a microlight aircraft crash on February 24, 2020. In his memory, the students observed a two minute silence.

NCC Cadet Jatin also briefed the morning session on Captain Cheema’s achievements to pay him homage. Group captain Rajesh Sharma asked the students to take inspiration from him. He flew eight different aircrafts in his illustrious career, including MiG-21, AVRO, AN-32, Kiran, HPT-32, Virus, Microlite and Cinberia.

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).
