Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday gave a notice in the Rajya Sabha for a resolution to extend the President’s rule in Manipur by another six months from August 13 onwards.

The resolution was admitted, but could not be taken up for consideration due to protests by the Opposition over the ongoing special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.

Manipur was put under the President’s rule on February 13 this year after Chief Minister N Biren Singh resigned from his post following months of ethnic violence and political instability that started on May 3, 2023.

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).
