The Haryana Cabinet’s approval of amendments to the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Act (2014) has sparked sharp opposition from the members of the general house of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC). The amendments are expected to be tabled in the upcoming Assembly session. Members of the HSGMC say the amendments have been proposed without consulting the general house.

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).
