Chairman of Punjab Minorities Commission, Abdul Bari Salmani, visited Kapurthala Central Jail on the occasion of Ramzan. During his visit, he met Muslim inmates and encouraged them to fast. Salmani expressed satisfaction over the jail administration’s arrangements for safeguarding the religious rights of inmates. He highlighted that prisoners were being provided with food for ‘Sehri’ and ‘Iftar’ and given special facilities to offer prayers five times a day.

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).
