Senior Secondary Model School, Patiala, celebrated the 81st birth anniversary of Flying Officer Nirmaljit Singh Sekhon, PVC. During the morning assembly, NCC cadets paid tribute to his supreme sacrifice in the 1971 war. The students learned about his remarkable achievements, including being the only Indian Air Force member awarded the Param Vir Chakra, and his heroic role in saving Jammu and Kashmir. NCC cadets Noorwinder Kaur, Chahat and Sukhmanpreet Kaur shared insights into his life and bravery. School in-charge Satvir Singh Gill inspired the students to emulate Sekhon's courage and fearlessness. The entire staff was present, honouring the occasion.

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).
