New Delhi, November 8

The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to the Centre on a petition seeking directions for effective implementation of the Protection of Women from the Domestic Violence Act, 2005, by creating adequate infrastructure, including shelter homes, across India and providing effective legal aid to women abused in matrimonial homes.

A Bench led by Justice UU Lalit asked the Ministry of Women and Child Development and Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to respond to the petition filed by an NGO — “We The Women of India” by December 6. The Bench said it wanted the Centre to monitor the issue. — TNS

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).
