The last 10 days, were perhaps the most dramatic for Shiromani Akali Dal leader Sukhbir Singh Badal.

From performing duty of 'sewadar', washing utensils and being shot at outside the Golden Temple gate in Amritsar, former chief minister of Punjab sure saw it all.

He performed sewa with a fracture in his leg, a spear in one hand, placard around his neck and humbly heard “shabads” for an hour everyday.

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).
