Singapore, July 7

Kalwant Singh, an Indian-origin Malaysian drug trafficker, was executed in Singapore on Thursday, after a top court rejected his last-minute bid to escape the gallows. Singh, 31, was arrested in 2013 for possessing 60.15 gm of diamorphine, including trafficking 120.9 gm of the substance. He was convicted in 2016 and had been on death row since then.

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).
