Chandigarh, May 14

With 800 kms to cover by foot, a young boy sleeps on a suitcase being wheeled by his mother.

The woman drags the bag—with almost double the weight—but doesn’t slow down. She maintains the pace with a small group of people.

The group had apparently started their long journey on foot from Punjab and were heading to Jhansi.

The pictures have left Twitter heartbroken.

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).
