Chandigarh, February 26

Amid a continuous rise in temperature, the city experienced light rain with thunderstorm this evening. However, the maximum temperature clocked a new high in February since 1954 today. The city recorded the maximum temperature of 32.7°C. The minimum temperature hovered around 8°C. The all-time record for the month is 32.8°C, witnessed on February 20, 1954. The past few days have been sunny, making the weather warmer.

The weatherman has predicted mainly clear sky for the next three days. However, the temperature in the following days is unlikely to witness change. — TNS

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).
