The Maharashtra Government has issued directives to all departmental commissioners for the state-wide implementation of the Sikh Anand Marriage Act.

The directive recognises Sikh marriage rites in the state and makes registration of Sikh marriages simpler. BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sisra, who recently took charge as Environment Minister in Delhi, has welcomed the move.

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).
