Ritu Garg, Administrative Secretary of the Law and Legislative Department of the Haryana Government, recently notified the Aparna Institution (Taking Over of Management and Control) Over of Management and Control) Act, 2025. The notification paved the way for formal taking over of a prime 24-acre property of the ashram by the Nayab Singh Saini Government. The ashram was founded by Dhirendra Brahamchari, controversial yoga guru of late PM Indira Gandhi.

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).
