The Department of Food and Supplies and Consumer Affairs has asked all ration card holders who have shifted to a new residential address to update their address in the ration card records.

To ensure uninterrupted access to benefits under various government schemes, beneficiaries must furnish valid proof of their new residence in Chandigarh to the department. Acceptable proofs include any document issued by a government department or organisation under the Chandigarh Administration or the Government of India. In addition, copies of Aadhaar cards of all family members must be submitted, clearly reflecting the current Chandigarh address.

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).
