New Delhi, May 12

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has finalised a comprehensive “Model Prison Act: 2023” to ensure that states create an environment for transforming jail inmates into law-abiding citizens and help in their rehabilitation, officials said today.

The Act will replace the 130-year-old pre-Independence era law.

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).
