Chandigarh, June 19

The fourth session of the 16th Punjab Vidhan Sabha began here on Monday with obituary references.

Those paid tributes included former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal, former cabinet minister Chaudhary Swarna Ram, former deputy speaker Jaswant Singh, former MLA Rumal Chand, freedom fighter Ujagar Singh, constable Mandeep Singh and sportsperson Kaur Singh.

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said the victims of the Odisha rail tragedy should also be paid tributes.

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).
