Chandigarh: Honouring the contribution of South Asian community to the Richmond Hill area of the Queens Borough area, New York City has named a street ‘Little Punjab’ in its honour. The area which has been nicknamed “Little Punjab” is a hub of businesses run by Punjabis and has two gurdwaras. It has now been named Punjab Avenue. A tweet, gone viral, on Wednesday, featured the residents of the area displaying a board that read “Punjab Av”. TNS

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).
