In Haryana, Eid-ul-Fitr, which was previously designated as a gazetted holiday on March 31, will now be observed as a restricted holiday.

According to an order issued by the Chief Secretary, the decision comes in light of the fact that March 29 and 30 will be weekend off days, and March 31 marks the closing day of the 2024-25 financial year.

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).
