Abohar/Sriganganagar, February 6

A 270-strong US Army contingent arrived at Suratgarh, near Sriganganagar, today for a joint training exercise, “Yudh Abhyas-20”, with Indian troops.

The contingent proceeded to the exercise area at Mahajan Field Firing Ranges, where the joint training will commence from Monday.

The Indian Army extended a warm welcome to the US contingent, followed by exchange of pleasantries between the commanders and soldiers of both armies.

This is the sixteenth edition of ‘Yudh Abhyas-20’, which began in 2004. The last edition was held in Seattle, US.

The exercise will focus on counter-terrorism operations under the United Nations mandate. During the exercise, participants will engage in missions ranging from joint planning operations to joint tactical drills.

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).
