The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has again directed WhataApp to withdraw its much controversial revised privacy policy and has warned of action against the platform.

According to official sources, in its notice to the company, the ministry said there were various options available for the messaging platform under the Indian law. The government has told WhatsApp to respond by May 25.

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).
