The Pingli Dairy Complex.

For over 23 years, the shifting of dairies from Karnal city to the Pingli Dairy Complex has remained a major civic issue. Despite repeated announcements and allotments, many dairy owners are yet to relocate. The Karnal Municipal Corporation (KMC) has now issued strict warnings to defaulting plot holders. Here is what is happening, why it matters, and what comes next.

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).
