Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on Monday declared April 14 as a holiday in all government offices, autonomous bodies and public sector undertakings under the Government of NCT of Delhi on account of birth anniversary of Dr BR Ambedkar. An official order said the holiday was being declared on account of the birthday of BR Ambedkar.

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).
