A 60m tall Tricolour was installed at Sadiqi border outpost in the Fazilka sector on the Independence Day.

Border Security Force (BSF) Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Vijay Kumar and Fazilka MLA Narinder Pal Singh Sawna hoisted the flag on August 15 in the presence of residents who thronged the outpost to witness the retreat ceremony.

According to an estimate, nearly 15,000 people visited the outpost to witness the occasion. The foundation stone for the project was laid in January this year. A "Tiranga Yatra" was also taken out in Fazilka town.

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).
