Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today said, “Some kind of peace has been brought to the Assam-Mizoram border as of now. Whatever happened in the past, we have allowed that to be buried.”

“Both state governments are now talking and definitely both sides will work for peace and tranquillity,” the Chief Minister said.

On border dispute with Meghalaya, Sarma said talks were on and he was hopeful about finding a solution to the problems soon. “Fighting over one or two village or one or two inch of land is meaningless. After all, the disputed land belongs to India only,” Sarma added.

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).
