Chandigarh, January 7

Winter season, besides dip in mercury level, brings plethora of humour related to bathing. Netizens in large numbers share memes on choosing not to take shower in harsh winter despite being pressed by parents. The repercussions of forcing their son to take bath were faced by parents in UP’s Hapur when their agitated son dialled cops to school his parents.

The boy categorically denied taking bath due to extreme cold. It wasn’t until his father rebuked him that he dialled 112 and called cops at his house, as per a report in ABP.

Apart from raising the issue of parents insisting him to take bath, he also told cops that he was not permitted to have a stylish haircut.

Police pacified the youth and asked his to comply with whatever his parents say. They returned back after thoroughly counselling him.

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).
