Mandi, May 27

Banners bearing the pictures of Rajiv Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and former state minister GS Bali regarding the launch of Covid health kits were found torn in Mandi town today. These banners were placed outside the wall of the Gandhi Bhavan at Chauhta Bazaar here; the District Congress Committee (DCC) office is located there.

According to DCC office-bearers, the banners were found torn this morning, indicating that the mischief was committed last night. Local BJP leaders felt that the incident betrayed infighting in the Congress. However, DCC president Prakash Chaudhari said, “I condemn the incident.”

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).
