The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has asked West Bengal to give a compensation of Rs 1 lakh to each child impacted by the post-poll violence in the state.

In a letter to the district magistrate of Cooch Behar, Pawan Kadiyan, the child rights body said children taking refuge in temporary shelter camps in Dhubri in Assam were living in fear after experiencing unprecedented violence.

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).
