The Diocese of Jalandhar on Monday condoled the demise of Pope Francis, remembering him for spending his life in the service of humanity.

All schools falling under the Diocese will be closed tomorrow as a mark of respect. Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese, Bishop Agnelo Gracias issued a statement that read, “Pope Francis will be remembered, especially for his initiatives in favour of the poor and maginalised.”

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).
