Hoshiarpur, October 3

The government has allowed conjugal visits for jail inmates. Under this programme, the spouse of an inmate can meet them without any hindrance. As many as eight inmates lodged at the Hoshiarpur Central Jail had applied for conjugal visits under this programme. Out of those, two applications were approved on Monday. Anurag Azad, Superintendent, Central Jail (Hoshiarpur), explained that two days in a week have been reserved for this programme. He added that if it all goes well, then the visits could also be scheduled for normal working days in future.

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).
