Just 10 days after the illicit liquor tragedy saw around 130 people dead, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has referred to the incident before making it clear that custodial interrogation of an accused in the spurious liquor case was a must. Justice Deepak Sibal of the High Court made this clear while turning down the anticipatory bail plea of an 18-year-old accused from whose house 100-litre illicit liquor was allegedly recovered.

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).
