Chandigarh, February 2

Floral tributes were paid to The Tribune’s founder Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia on the 139th anniversary of the publication here today.

Sardar Majithia, who was a great visionary and philanthropist, had founded The Tribune on February 2, 1881, at Lahore (now in Pakistan).

Members of The Tribune Trust Justice SS Sodhi (retired) and Gurbachan Jagat; Bonny Sodhi; Tribune Trust’s General Manager Vinay Verma; Editor, Dainik Tribune, Raj Kumar Singh; Editor, Punjabi Tribune, Swarajbir Singh; and president, The Tribune Employees’ Union, Anil Gupta, paid tributes to Sardar Majithia.

Hundreds of employees of the newspaper group also remembered the founder on the occasion.

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).
