The mortal remains of ITBP ASI Gurmukh Singh, who was martyred during a Naxal attack in Bastar a few days ago, were consigned to the flames with full honours at his native Jhordan village in Ludhiana today. His minor son Gurnur Singh lit the pyre. Gurmukh had joined the ITBP in 1988, and was a distinguished judo and kabaddi player. — OC

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).
