New Delhi: The Ministry of Defence has asked the Central Board of Film Certification, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to advice production houses to obtain a no objection certificate (NOC) before the telecast of any film, documentary or web series based on Army theme. This has been done to curtail the incidents which distort the image of defence forces and hurt the sentiments of defence personnel and veterans. The Defence Ministry had received complaints raising objections on portrayal of Indian Army personnel and military uniform in an insulting manner. It mentioned web series like “Code M” on Zee 5 and “XXX Uncensored (season-2)”. — 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).
