President Droupadi Murmu arrived in Chandigarh on Monday evening for her three-day visit to Punjab and the Union Territory.

Upon her arrival at the Chandigarh airport, she was welcomed by Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria, Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and his Haryana counterpart Nayab Singh Saini, said officials.

She came to Chandigarh after attending two events — convocation ceremony of Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology and a state-level campaign 'Spiritual education for holistic wellbeing' of Brahma Kumaris in Hisar.

Murmu will attend the convocation ceremonies of the Central University of Punjab, Bathinda, and AIIMS-Bathinda on Tuesday.

On Tuesday evening, she will attend a civic reception at Mohali to be hosted by the Punjab Government in her honour, said the officials.

On March 12, the President will attend the convocation ceremony of Panjab University, Chandigarh.

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).
