Chandigarh, October 18

Selling bizarre items at inflated price in the name of fashion has been an established practice nowadays. This time, luxury fashion brand Hugo Boss has come under the fire after offering seemingly day-to-day slippers for whopping Rs 8990 on its website.

Desis have found the uncanny resemblance of the luxury mule with bathroom slippers that they use on daily basis. Many rebuked the brand for selling ordinary item at dilated price while others started a meme fest.

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).
