The UN has appointed Major General Ramón Guardado Sánchez from Mexico as the chief military observer for the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP).

Since 1972, India has opposed the mandate of UNMOGIP, and has limited the activities of UN observers in J&K. India’s stance is that the Simla Agreement mentions that the resolution of J&K is a bilateral matter.

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).
