A four-lane cable-stayed bridge — the world’s highest — has opened to traffic in China, connecting two southwestern provinces and reducing travel time by three quarters.

The world’s tallest bridge (measured in terms of height of its own structure, not the distance to the ground) remains France’s Millau viaduct at 343 metre. AFP

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).
