Amritsar: The local railway authorities resumed the service of passenger train by plying a pair of train between Amritsar and Khemkaran on Sunday. The service, along with general ticket, was suspended for the past nearly two years. Amid the Covid-19 crisis, the facility was withdrawn to prevent crowding in train compartments and maintain social distancing. The railway officials here received a proposal regarding restoration of passenger trains from the zonal but it managed to resume only one train. Local trains included in the list of passenger trains were Amritsar-Dera Baba Nanak, Verka-Dera Baba Nanak, Khemkaran-Amritsar, Khemkaran-Bhagtanwala, Amritsar-Hisar.

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).
