The demand for a separate Jammu state is not new. It is a recurring sentiment that resurfaces whenever perceptions of regional discrimination intensify. In recent weeks, the demand has once again gained momentum, marking its first significant revival since the 2019 bifurcation of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.

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).
