The Haryana Government has declared October 31 (Thursday) as a gazetted holiday on account of Diwali instead of November 1 (Friday). In an order issued by the Chief Secretary, it has been informed that October 31 shall be observed as a gazetted holiday in all departments/boards/corporations, educational and other institutions of the state.

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).
