New Delhi, March 16

The MEA on Thursday said it had taken up with Australia the matter of disruption at its honorary consulate in Brisbane “for a little while”.

The consulate was forced to shut briefly on Wednesday due to safety concerns after Khalistani supporters organised an “illegal” gathering and the teams of both countries as mentioned by PM Modi last week were in touch, said the MEA.

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).
