WELLINGTON, September 6

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Monday that a legal loophole that allowed an Islamic State-inspired militant carry out a supermarket attack to remain free would be fixed with new laws by the end of this month. The police shot dead 32-year-old Sri Lankan Ahamed Aathil Mohamed Samsudeen moments after he launched a stabbing spree at an Auckland supermarket on Friday. “We are working to have Counter Terror Legislation Bill passed before the end of the month,” Ardern said. — Reuters

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).
