Chandigarh, April 29

Temperatures across India have surpassed all previous records. The mercury level in Delhi-NCR and parts of north-west India is hovering above 45 degrees Celsius mark. Drawing reference with a popular song, ‘Suraj Hua Maddham’, from K3G movie, Twitter users are proactively tagging Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, pleading him to ask the Sun to lessen its intensity.

The post was initially shared by a user, Srishti Pandey. Soon after she posted the tweet, users started a thread, adding more references from the film.

Since the beginning of the summer season in March this year, several parts of the country have been reporting severe hot weather. The IMD has issued a ‘Yellow’ warning for three days — from April 29 to May 1 — for Delhi and areas in northwest India.

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).
