Vikramjeet (Vicky) Middukhera, who was shot dead in broad daylight at Mohali in 2021, is still a ‘poster boy’ of the Students Organisation of India (SOI) campaign. A huge banner, carrying his picture (along with the presidential candidate) has been installed over the party’s tent. One of the most active members of the Akali Dal’s student wing, SOI, in Panjab University, Middukhera had led the party to victory in the 2015 elections. He had forged an alliance with the Himachal Pradesh Student Union (HIMSU), National Students Organisation (NSO) and the Indian National Students’ Organisation (INSO) then. “He will remain in our hearts and wherever the SOI contests, it will be under his ideology,” said one of the SOI supporters.

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).
