Former beauty queen, 90’s superstar and an active environmentalist, Juhi Chawla Mehta, apart from her infectious laughter, also calls a spade-a-spade. During times when there is national outrage with brutal gang-rapes, Juhi expresses her disgust with an important message.

The actress was in Jaisalmer recently attending a family wedding and took some time off to visit tourist locations. On visiting one of the historical sites, Juhi shared on her social networking site: “The chhatri you see on the right, it has a 50-foot dry well. In early days they would throw traitors, criminals into the well and leave them there to die a slow and painful death. I was wondering what if they do that today, as punishment for rapists, and acid throwers.”

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).
