The passenger operation of Vande Sleeper Coach is expected begin in three months from now, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Sunday after conducting an inspection of the sleeper coach at BEML in Bengaluru.

“We expect the passenger operation of Vande Sleeper Coach in three months. This is a full sleeper version,” he told reporters in Bengaluru after the inspection.

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).
