A large number of women, running short of money due to the ongoing lockdown, continue to throng banks to withdraw some amount to meet day-to-day expenses of their family. The rush of women in banks has increased significantly after the Centre credited Rs 500 each to the Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) accounts and three months’ pension in advance to widows, senior citizens and differently-abled after imposition of the lockdown to contain Covid. — TNS

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).
