Ranthambore National Park is home to over 40 species of mammals, 300 species of birds, 45 species of reptiles and over 300 species of plants. However, it is the ‘relatively easy sightings’ of wild tigers that has made it famous all over the world. Ranthambhore National Park, which is a part of Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, is the only forest reserve in Rajasthan and the entire Aravali hill ranges where wild Bengal tigers still exist. The dry deciduous habitat of the reserve makes it easier to find tigers in their natural wild habitat. TC Verma, Field Director, Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, says there is a total of 69 big cats in the park. He adds that a camera trap has confirmed the presence of two cubs of T-107 in Amreshwar area. With these cubs, the number has increased to 25.

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).
