The Union Minister also said that eight persons died in Khalistan-related terror incidents in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

“As regards the Khalistani separatist activities, in the year 2019, seven terror or radical modules were busted in Punjab as against 15 in 2020 and 25 modules in 2021. No loss of property was reported during the period,” he said.

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).
