Karnal: People believe that Karnal is associated with Mahabharata character Raja Karna. It is said that in olden times, there was a natural water body at the site of Karan Taal and it was surrounded by temples. Raja Karna used to offer prayers after a bath at the ghats of the ‘taal’. A pillar erected by the then Bansi Lal government at the entrance to the park states that it was the place where Karna used to donate 125 kg gold every morning.

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).
