The Chandigarh Administration has declared Monday, April 29, as public holiday in all government offices/boards/corporations/institutions, including industrial establishments, under it on account of Parshuram Jayanti.

However, an administration order says the day will not be a public holiday within the meaning of Section 25 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881.

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).
