The gardens at the President's official home, Rashtrapati Bhavan, have been given a common name —Amrit Udyan— as part of the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ celebrations. The old road sign that said "Mughal Gardens" was removed and taken away in a bulldozer. Tribune photos: Mukesh Aggarwal

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).
