New Delhi: Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk said he and other protesters from Ladakh would sit on an indefinite fast from Saturday since they have not received any response from the government over their demand of meeting the President, Prime Minister or the Union Home Minister. Wangchuk was leading the ‘Delhi Chalo Padyatra’, which began from Leh a month ago.

Drug bust: Lookout circular issued

New Delhi: The police on Friday said they have issued a lookout circular against an Indian-origin Dubai-based businessman, who is suspected to be involved in drug cartel worth Rs 5,000 crore busted in the Capital, officials said. The suspect, identified as Virender Basoya, is believed to be staying in Dubai. He was allegedly running the racket with the help of Tushar Goyal and Jitender Gill, both arrested, from there, they said.

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).
