The Haryana Government is set to enhance support for working women by constructing hostels in Faridabad and Gurugram under the Sakhi Niwas Yojana. These hostels will provide safe and affordable accommodation, with added daycare services for women with children.

Haryana Mahila Vikas Nigam is leading the initiative, which will allow women to stay with their children — boys up to 12 years old and girls up to 18 years old. Special preference will be given to women from economically weaker sections and those with disabilities.

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).
