Amid reports that the website of the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) was hacked and data was stolen, Jammu Municipal Commissioner Devansh Yadav denied the claims and stated that no data breach has occurred.

He explained that there was a database issue with the website, clarifying, “but it was not exactly a hack. The team is investigating the matter, but there was no data breach.”

Some reports had suggested that Pakistani hackers had stolen data, including details of Aadhaar cards, property records, and other documents, from the MC website.

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).
