Indian Skimmer bird at Soorwal Dam, in the backdrop of local fishermen tents, near Sawai Madhopur (Ranthambore). Once common, this bird species population is seeing a decline because of wetland and riverine habitat degradation, including the sand mining activity in the nearby Chambal River, according to local wildlife activists.

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).
