The Council of Ministers will hold a meeting on Thursday to discuss the Excise Policy for 2025-26. The policy is to be announced before March, so that the vends can be allotted and become functional before April 1. Sources said the government was looking to increase its revenue from excise collections by Rs 1,000 crore in next fiscal.

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).
