Amritsar, October 13

The district administration has announced the dates for the Sale of Articles of Rural Artisans Society (SARAS) mela to be organised by the Union Ministry of Rural Development wherein over 300 artisans from across the country would display their goods.

As per the schedule announced by the administration, the event would begin on November 4 and culminate on November 17. After a meeting with the officials regarding the mega event, Additional Deputy Commissioner Ranbir Singh Mudhal said artisans and self-help groups associated with the SARAS would display their handicrafts during the event.

He said the 14-day event would also have cultural performances by artistes from different parts of the country. He asked the officials to make all arrangements at Dasehra grounds in Ranjit Avenue.

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).
