State Social Security, Women and Child Development Minister Baljit Kaur has directed officials to keep a strict watch on circulation of vulgar content on social media, saying it poses a direct threat to psychological well-being of children.

She said any complaint or information received regarding such content must be immediately shared with the police and the the Punjab State Commission for Protection of Child Rights. She also welcomed the orders issued to the ADGP (Cyber Crime) for strict action against those posting such content.

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).
