Former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda has said sending Indians from the US in handcuffs and shackles “is completely reprehensible”. “The Indian government should raise its voice against this. The way the BJP government of Haryana sent a prisoner’s van to bring back those returning from the US, is an insult to them,” he said. On illegal mining, he said the CAG report had said the state suffered a revenue loss of Rs 5,000 crore during the past one year. “The Congress will raise this issue in the Assembly session,” he said.

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).
