At a felicitation ceremony in Udham Singh Nagar district's Kichha, the CM said Uttarakhand was a “Devbhoomi” where everyone lived together. “But religious conversion will not be allowed, encroachments will not be allowed and ‘land and spit jihad’ will not be allowed,” he said.

Recently, two brothers were arrested for allegedly spitting in a tea pot and serving that tea to customers. Dhami said his government had been taking tough but necessary decisions. He mentioned the anti-copying law and anti-riot law and said the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) would be implemented in the state soon.

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).
