New Delhi, February 9

India is set to host the prestigious Miss World pageant from February 18 to March 9.

The launch of the 71st edition of the Miss World Festival witnessed a historic gathering, featuring reigning Miss World Karolina Bielawska alongside former titleholders Toni Ann Singh, Vanessa Ponce De Leon, Manushi Chhillar and Stephanie Del Valle.

Miss World pageant, which will be held in India after nearly three decades, will attract participants from 120 countries. Festivities will begin on February 18, with early rounds in Delhi, leading up to the grand finale on March 9 in Mumbai. Miss World Organisation CEO Julia Morley expressed her deep affection for India.

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).
