An 81-year-old resident, Harbans Lal Gupta, accused senior Revenue Department officials of harassment in a prolonged land compensation dispute dating back over a decade. Gupta alleged that despite owning 8 kanal 4 marla of land in Mauja Bagwali, only 19 marla was transferred to him after a government acquisition in 2013. When he raised objections, he said, his land mutation was cancelled and an FIR was lodged against him in 2017.

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).
