Based in Canada, Jarnail Singh kept his bond with Chandigarh alive. He painted Punjabi women on charkha, doing Phulkari, and was majorly associated with the reproduction of his father’s works on Sikh history. Born in Zira, district Ferozepur, Jarnail Singh was active in Chandigarh art scene and was part of Punjab Art Council as well. Apart from painting, he had keen interest in literature and contributed for various magazines.

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).
