Chairman of Indian multinational company L&T SN Subrahmanyan is facing a huge social media backlash after his comments advocating 90 hours a week for his employees including Sundays. What has caused further embarrassment for the chairman is that some of his comments made at an internal meeting of the company were seen as sexist. One of the comments was: “What do you do sitting at home? How long can you stare at your wife?” The comments sparked comparisons to Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy’s earlier suggestion of a 70-hour work week for young Indians. Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone was among the first to react, calling the statement “shocking” on her Instagram handle.

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).
