Former Minister Dr Harbans Lal today appreciated the central government’s decision to give more powers to the BSF. He said the move will help BSF improve operational effectiveness in curbing trans-border crime.

Lashing out at all those, who are opposing the decision, he said that the Centre had taken the decision after the CM Charanjit Singh Channi met Home Minister Amit Shah to strengthen the borders of the state against Pakistan’s nefarious designs. — OC

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).
