Veer Naris, including Nirmala Devi, Kamla Devi, Rukmani Devi, Chotte Devi, Saman Kori Rajat, and Phool Wati, along with war veterans such as retired Colonels MS Gill (89), RS Sodhi (80), HS Gill, and Lieutenant Colonel Martin Khongman, were honoured during a solemn ceremony at Asafwala War Memorial on the second day of Vijay Diwas celebrations. Nearly 150 war veterans and family members of 60 martyrs’ families attended the event.

The Veer Naris, war veterans, and families of martyrs came from Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan to pay homage. Notably, 232 jawans and Junior Commissioned Officers (JCOs) sacrificed their lives defending Fazilka during the 1971 Indo-Pak war.

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).
