The state government is promoting land pooling as the foundation of future development, aiming to establish a new industrial town in Faridabad, along with several new sectors. As part of the ambitious proposal, the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) plans to acquire 9,000 acres of land across nine villages in Faridabad and Palwal districts to develop an industrial city along the Greenfield Expressway. This city would be strategically connected to the upcoming Noida International Airport.

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).
