Punjab Rajya Sabha MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney during a discussion on the budget in the Parliament demanded a significant allocation for Punjab from the Rs 1.5 lakh crore long-term interest-free loans earmarked for the states. He addressed the need for equitable resource distribution to ensure the development of Punjab. He urged a review of the Agniveer scheme, recommending at least 50 per cent of Agniveers to be absorbed into paramilitary forces.

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).
