New Delhi, December 16

Petrol price was hiked by Rs 2.21 a litre and diesel by Rs 1.79 per litre, excluding local levies, on Friday.

The price revision was to come into effect on Thursday, but was deferred possibly to save the demonetisation-battered government any more questions in Parliament. The revised rates will be effective from midnight.

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).
