JNU Vice-Chancellor Dhulipudi Pandit faced backlash for ignoring striking sanitation workers who are demanding legally mandated bonus and improved working conditions. The workers, protesting for six days claim JNU has denied them bonuses for years and has failed to provide salary slips, violating labour laws. Sucheta De from the AICCTU JNU unit criticised the VC for his inaction, stating that it reflects a disregard for workers' rights and the principle of equal pay for equal work, which has been overlooked for seven years.

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).
