The Aam Aadmi Party has demanded an increase in pension to widows in Chandigarh. Vijaypal Singh, president of Chandigarh AAP unit, said that the dues from January to April 2025 be also released without delay and widows be given access to essential health, housing, education and social welfare benefits. They should be prioritised in government jobs with reservation, Vijaypal Singh said in the demand made on International Widows Day.

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).
