As panic buying gripped parts of Jammu amid heightened tensions along the border, the Jammu Traders’ Federation on Wednesday appealed for calm, assuring the public that there is no shortage of essential supplies. The federation announced reactivation of “war rooms” to distribute free ration and medicines to border residents affected by the current hostilities. “People are buying in panic due to fear (of war), but there is no need to worry. We have enough ration to last three months,” said president of the Jammu Traders’ Federation Deepak Gupta.

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).
