A Muslim minor boy was targeted after offering Friday prayers at a mosque in an alleged incident of hate crime. According to the complaint lodged at the IT Park Police Station, a Hindu youth asked the boy to chant “Jai Shri Ram”. When the boy refused, he was allegedly assaulted. A video of the incident has since been circulated on social media.

The fathers of the boys met and resolved the issue amicably. They appealed to the public to maintain peace.

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).
