The OTT platform ULLU has announced the release of a new story, which is based on the social issue of bride-trafficking. Titled Paro, the series will start streaming on the app from today (May 18). Actress Leena Jumani will be playing the lead role. The series revolves around bride-trafficking, which has developed due to gender inequality, poverty and unemployment in most of the North-Indian states.

Says Leena, “My role is of a beautiful village girl, Paro, who becomes a victim of bride-trafficking. When I heard the story, it gave me goose-bumps to know that even in the 21st century there are women in our country who are forced into such heinous social practices.”

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).
