Myanmar’s military junta is expected to announce another extension of the State of Emergency after joining in a security council meeting chaired by military appointed President Myint Swe and junta leader, Min Aung Hlaing. The current State of Emergency imposed in Myanmar since the 2021 coup is due to end on January 31.

In the last two months, the junta has outlined plans to neighbours for an election in 2025 and released the results of a census conducted to prepare voters lists.

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).
