Bangkok, September 20

Openly challenging the monarchy of Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn, thousands of protesters marched to present demands that include a call for reforms to curb his powers in Bangkok on Sunday.

With this, protesters have broken a taboo on criticising the monarchy, which is illegal. The Royal Palace was not immediately available for comment. — 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).
