The Central Consumer Protection Authority issued notices to 45 coaching centres for misleading advertisements, slapping a penalty of Rs 61.6 lakh on 19 of them, Minister of State for Consumer Affairs BL Verma said in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday. On November 13, the consumer authority put out guidelines to prevent coaching centres from issuing misleading advertisements to promote the sale of goods or services and engage in deceptive or unfair practices.

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).
