A webinar on detective fiction, organised by the Department of English, Shoolini University, evoked keen discussions on various aspects of the genre. The webinar comprised two sessions – the first had two presentations on Edgar Allan Poe and Arthur Conan Doyle, and in the second urban landscape, female detectives, and other related issues were discussed. Speakers were from various educational institutions — Barnali Saha from Indraprastha University (Delhi), Anup Sharma from Ashoka University (Sonepat), Smitha Verghese and Savitha from Hyderabad, and Manjinder Kaur from Panjab University, among others.

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).
