According to the order, Pregabalin, often prescribed by doctors to treat various medical conditions, including neuropathic pain and epilepsy, has been linked to widespread abuse and addiction. The order, issued under Section 163 of BNS, prohibits the sale of Pregabalin above 75 mg without a valid prescription. Wholesalers, retailers, chemists and pharmacies have been prohibited from selling Pregabalin above 75 mg without a prescription. As per the order, only 75 mg of Pregabalin can be prescribed by neurologists and orthopaedists. Accurate records of purchase and sale of up to 75 mg Pregabalin must be maintained. The order will remain in force until April 6, 2025.

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).
