After repeated delays, the Jyotisar Anubhav Kendra (Mahabharata-themed interpretation centre) at Jyotisar Tirtha in Kurukshetra is still not expected to be fully ready by October-end. Of its five planned galleries, two were inaugurated virtually by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February last year. However, even those two open only occasionally.

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).
