Rashtrapati Niwas in Mashobra, around 11 km from the state’s capital, will remain closed for the public from April 28 to May 12 in view of President Draupadi Murmu’s visit to the state.

The 174-year-old heritage property that spans over 10,628 sq ft serves as a summer retreat for the President of India. In April 2023, the Rashtrapati Niwas was opened to the public for the very first time, inviting visitors to explore its architectural splendor and historical legacy. Tours are available daily from 10 am to 6 pm, with the last entry at 5 pm. The estate remains closed on Mondays and public holidays.

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).
