Nepal’s former King Gyanendra Shah on Sunday expressed sorrow over the violence during last month’s pro-monarchy protests in Kathmandu.

Two were killed and over 110 others were injured during the March 28 violent protests by monarchy supporters who demanded the re-reinstatement of monarchy and the establishment of a Hindu state.

“Democracy is the greatest system to guard civil liberties,” he said.

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).
