THE NARI 2025 report by the National Commission for Women (NCW) lays bare a grim reality: cities that project themselves as modern and progressive are failing women on the most basic parameter — safety. Delhi, Faridabad, Srinagar, Ranchi, Jaipur and Kolkata figure among the least safe, while Mumbai and several northeastern capitals like Kohima and Aizawl emerge at the top.

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).
