PM Narendra Modi takes a jungle safari ride in the Gir National Park.

On World Wildlife Day on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a jungle safari ride in the Gir National Park, the abode of Asiatic lions.

Soon after the visit, the PM proceeded to chair a meeting of National Board for Wildlife at Sasan Gir.

Earlier in his message on the occasion, the PM tweeted, "Today, on #WorldWildlifeDay, let’s reiterate our commitment to protect and preserve the incredible biodiversity of our planet. Every species plays a vital role—let’s safeguard their future for generations to come!

We also take pride in India’s contributions towards preserving and protecting wildlife."

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).
