The Prasar Bharati board issued a notice to the news agency, Press Trust of India, that it could stop subscription, alleging that it reported “anti-national” reports. The issue came to the boil after the PTI ran an interaction of Indian Ambassador to China Vikram Misri from Beijing after the agency had carried an interview of Chinese Ambassador Sun Weidong. Comments by the Chinese Ambassador and the Indian envoy, according to commentary on the social media, ran contrary to the official position articulated by the PM during an all-party meeting over developments on the Sino-Indian border. — 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).
