Mohali, February 22

The blackout in Chandigarh forced many residents to look for alternatives in Mohali, Zirakpur and Panckula.

People rushed to their near and dear ones in these cities to charge their phone batteries. Patients in need of nebuliser, too, visited the places of their relatives there. Poonam Sukhija, a Zirakpur resident, said, “My cousin’s family visited us this morning and everyone straightaway looked for charging points. I could not believe that a day has come when Chandigarh people, suffering power pangs, have to come to Zirakpur, a city notorious for power outages.”

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).
