Athens: Greece’s centre-right PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Tuesday called general election on May 21 as his party’s long-standing lead in opinion polls has declined in the aftermath of the country’s worst train disaster. A February 28 collision between two trains left 57 dead. The disaster stirred public anger, cutting the conservative New Democracy party’s support by a half-point to 4 points over Syriza party. PTI

Law bans caste-based discrimination in Seattle

Washington: A landmark law banning caste-based discrimination came into effect in the US city of Seattle, making it the first city outside India to enforce such a legislation. The resolution was moved last month by Kshama Sawant, an Indian-American politician, economist and an upper-caste Hindu. It was approved unanimously by the Seattle City Council by six to one vote.

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).
