Diana Penty in collaboration with the Salaam Bombay Foundation has been working on a special initiative called The Khaki Project to provide the basic essentials to police officers. Diana says, “We wanted to help those on the frontline. We wanted to show our appreciation. So, we focused on two essentials — hand sanitisers and safety eyewear — with which they could protect themselves on duty. With the assistance of SBF, we identified 10 police stations across South Mumbai that either fell under the containment zone, or needed supplies the most.”

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).
