Yeh Hai Mohabbatein fame Divyanka Tripathi’s recent video on experiencing earthquake in Chandigarh has invited a lot of backlash from netizens. A few days back, tremors were felt in North Indian areas. The actress and her husband were in Chandigarh to attend her sister-in-law Riya’s wedding. Divyanka posted a video of people gathering outside their houses when the tremors were felt.

In the video Divyanka said, “Okay, this is very exciting because I’m experiencing my life’s first earthquake, and you won’t feel it like this… Gali mohalla sab neeche aa gaya hai. This is exciting, just for now, jab tak ke zyada nahi hota.” Users have commented how ignorant and insensitive her post was!

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).
