An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 on the Richter Scale jolted Pakistan on Monday, a statement by the National Center for Seismology (NCS) said.

On Saturday also an earthquake of magnitude 5.7 on the Richter Scale had hit Pakistan. That morning, another quake of a magnitude 4.0 again shook the neighouring country, which occurred at a shallow depth of 10km, making it susceptible to aftershocks.

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).
