Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and the Indian-American community have urged the Indian government to open a consulate in the second-largest US city. Currently, the US has Indian consulates in five cities — New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Houston and Atlanta.

During PM Narendra Modi’s US visit in June, it was announced that India would open two new consulates, one of which would be in Seattle. “I ask that you consider the City of Los Angeles for a new Indian Consulate,” Bass wrote in a recent letter to India’s Ambassador Taranjit Singh Sandhu.

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).
