The lush green fields of Hussainiwala were set ablaze by the thunderous tapping of feet by BSF sentinels after a little over two months as the Indo-Pakistan Retreat drill was resumed today after 74 days.

Almost 1500 spectators, including local residents, school students and visitors, were present on the first day itself, said Mohinder Lal, Commandant, BSF.

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).
