Chandigarh, February 6

After an article about her affair with a married man got published in a magazine, this year’s Miss Japan beauty pageant winner Karolina Shiino, hailing from Ukraine, renounced her title. She was crowned on January 22.

In an apology posted on her Instagram account, Shiino said, “I am truly sorry for the huge trouble I have caused and for betraying those who supported me.”

The office of the Miss Japan organisers on Tuesday said Shiino’s renunciation of the title was accepted and the slot for the 2024 winner would remain empty.

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).
