“In the coming session of Assam Assembly, we will introduce some important and historic Bills on issues like ‘love jihad’, polygamy, preservation of Satras (Vaishnavite monastery) and land rights to tea tribes,” he added.

“We will be able to tell you the details when the Cabinet approves the same,” Sarma said. Earlier, Assam had approved “The Assam Satra Preservation and Development Board Bill, 2025” which will be a statutory body to ensure protection, preservation and sustainable development of Satras and their lands.

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).
