Beijing: A new strain of flu that has the potential to become a pandemic has been found in China by scientists, the media reported. Scientists said the new virus (G4 EA H1N1) was similar to one that caused the 2009 swine flu, but with some new changes. They found evidence of recent infection, carried by pigs, was starting in people who worked in abattoirs and the swine industry in China. IANS

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).
