Delhi residents woke up to a loud boom in the wee hours of Monday as an earthquake of magnitude 4.0 hit the city. According to the National Centre of Seismology, the earthquake hit at a depth of around 5 km. However, no one was injured. Scientists said the loud noise accompanying the quake was due to high-frequency vibrations from shallow earthquakes.

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).
