After a wait spanning almost 15 years, Gurugram has finally inched closer to its long-awaited dream of Metro expansion. While its NCR counterparts, like Noida, saw Metro covering entire city during this period, the project did not move an inch beyond Huda City Centre in Gurugram. With Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini and Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar conducting a ‘bhumi poojan’, the project has finally taken off the ground.

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).
