New Delhi, June 10

Six-year-old Julie, a canine of the NDRF, has been awarded with a commendation certificate for sniffing out and helping rescuers save a six-year-old girl who was buried under mounds of rubble in Turkiye in the February earthquake, officials said on Saturday.

The labrador was part of the NDRF team that was sent to rescue and provide relief to the victims of the massive earthquake that struck Turkiye and neighbouring Syria on February 6. Julie has been honoured with the Director General’s Commendation Role for undertaking excellent search and rescue work during the operation.

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).
