New Delhi, August 3

The government on Wednesday withdrew the Data Protection Bill from the Lok Sabha.

The Bill was introduced on December 2019 and referred to the Joint Committee of the Houses for examination.

The report of the committee was presented to the Lok Sabha in December 2021.

Withdrawn by IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Bill aimed to provide protection of digital privacy to individuals relating to their personal data, specify the flow and usage of data, and create a relationship of trust between persons and entities processing the data.

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).
