Karwa Chauth, the festival of married women, was celebrated with fervour in the tricity, comprising Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula, on Sunday. The day lasted with women from all walks of life observing fast, praying for the long life of their husbands.

Traditionally, a married woman eats Sargi before the dawn. For a woman observing a fast, the day proceeds with going without food and water. Once the long wait for the moon ends in the evening, women gather to offer prayers at a temple or a social point with their thalis, eager to end the fast. They eat only after offering prayers to the moon.

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).
