On account of martyrdom day of Guru Arjan Dev, the UT Administration has announced a public holiday in the city on May 30 (Friday) instead of the restricted holiday already announced. Now, a public holiday will be observed in all government offices, boards, corporations and institutions, including industrial establishments, under the Chandigarh Administration.

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).
