Chandigarh, November 9

Spending time in the backdrop of Covid-hit lockdown was no less than a nightmare for Indians. As the cases were rapidly increasing in the country, government unleashed strict curbs to prevent people from moving out of their houses to contain the spread of the disease.

In a fresh, Twitter trend #IndiaLockdown came as a blow to Indians as people started anticipating yet another lockdown. However, it wasn’t until they realised India Lockdown was an upcoming Bollywood movie title that they had a breath of relief.

Netizens initiated a laughter burst through lockdown-related memes.

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).
