BHAGWANT SINGH MANN took oath as the 17th Chief Minister of Punjab in Khatkar Kalan on March 16, 2022. His party got an unprecedented victory, riding on the promises it made to the people of Punjab during Assembly elections. Given the anti-incumbency against the faction-ridden Congress, declining SAD support, and anti-BJP sentiments of voters, winning the election was easy for the AAP. Now, as the government has completed more than three years in power, many people have started pointing out its failure to meet its promises.

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).
