Chandigarh, February 12

The meme content on Hug Day, the fifth day of the Valentine’s week, has set social media on “fire”. Videos and posts of singles mocking lovers, Rahul Gandhi hugging Prime Minster Narendra Modi and dark historical humour that have gone viral, have added a different flavour to the celebrations.

While romantic embrace tops the genre of content that is prominently surfacing online, humour, historical drama, political fiction and non-fiction, and dark humour have set the new pace for the Hug Day celebrations.

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).
