Though the AAP-led government in the state had appointed chairpersons of various Improvement Trusts last year, not even a single member could be nominated in any Improvement Trust even 16 months after the appointment of the chairpersons. The result is that no Improvement Trust seems to be functional yet.

Prominent lawyer Kashmir Singh Malhi took charge as Chairman, Phagwara Improvement Trust, on September 25 in 2023, but the Trust is yet to become functional, except for the burden of salaries of the employees. Notably, not even a single scheme of the Improvement Trust, Phagwara, has materialised as a result.

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).
