A special joint sitting of both houses of Parliament is likely to be held on November 26 to mark the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of India, officials said on Saturday.

Earlier, November 26 used to be celebrated as National Law Day. In 2015, on the 125th birth anniversary of BR Ambedkar, the government announced November 26 as Constitution Day to encourage people to follow the constitutional values.

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).
