Dhanteras and Diwali were celebrated with fervour at Panjab University’s girls hostel. The celebrations began with offering prayers to Goddess Luxmi (lakshmi pujan), followed by the aarti under the guidance of Dr Manisha Sharma, the hostel warden. After offering prayers, hostel residents and the staff lighted candles and earthen pots besides bursting firecrackers.

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).
