The minister said, “This memorial is a testimony to the unflinching bravery of 21 Sikh soldiers of the 36 Sikh Regiment who displayed exemplary courage while fighting against more than 10,000 Pathans.” She said the memorial had been set up at a cost of Rs 2 crore and the AAP government would leave no stone unturned to connect the people with the glorious legacy.

“It is a matter of great pride that the soldiers were awarded the ‘Indian Order of Merit’ i.e. Victoria Cross,” said the minister, adding that all-round development of historical places would boost tourism in the state.

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).
