A temple dedicated to Paramhans Baba Thakar Ji Maharaj.

Followers of Baba Thakar Ji are found in all religions and it is said that over 360 places in forms of shrines of different faiths are dedicated to him. Two of them are in Chabba village.

Local committee member Ashwani Kumar informed that mela (fairs) are held every year to commemorate the occasions of Maghi, Shivratri, Baisakhi, Janmashtami and Sawan.

Moreover, a total of 90 residents of the village had participated in the World War I and one of them had even given up his life.

The “deorhi” which mentions about their heroics needs urgent repair to pass on the history to coming generations.

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).
