Chandigarh, February 1

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday presented the fourth Budget in a row. Even before she tabled the Budget for 2022, which the government claimed to be well poised for a pick-up in private sector investment with the financial system in a good position to provide support to the revival of the economy, it gathered hopes for salaried and middle class.

Sitharaman said that India was set to clock a growth rate of 9.2 per cent, which could be the highest in the world in the current fiscal. With the minister expressing empathy with those who had to bear adverse health and economic affects of the Covid pandemic, it took Twitter no time to flood with memes from middle class countrymen expecting a relief and tax exemptions from this Budget.

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).
