Igloos are something new experience to Kashmir but this is the first in India that an hotelier has come up with a functional Igloo while giving it a local tone by putting Samovar, the traditional Kashmiri kettle, sheep hides and engraved copper utensils. The cafe has become major attraction for tourists visiting the valley. It is also dubbed as country’s first café built of snow and Asia’s biggest Igloo.

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).
