Batala, September 22

Around two lakh devotees from different parts of the country thronged Batala on the 536th marriage anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev.

The celebrations, an annual affair going on since 1487, are colloquially known as “Babe-Da-Viah”. The city’s infrastructure was stretched to its limits as the devotees jostled with each other to pay obeisance at the Kandh Sahib Gurdwara.

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).
