Amritsar, November 1

A state-level function to commemorate the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Valmiki was held at Ram Tirath, believed to be the ancient hermitage site of the sage, near here on Saturday.

Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh virtually laid the foundation stone for projects worth Rs 50 crore at the Bhagwan Valmiki Tirath Sthal (Ram Tirath), which includes a panorama on the sage, facade illumination, filtration plant in the sarovar, furniture for the sarai and construction of a ‘parikrama’. Technical Education Minister Charanjit Singh Channi was present during the function.

The CM also virtually inaugurated a new Ram Tirath ITI and gave the go-ahead for the establishment of a Skill Development Centre to prepare Dalit students for competitive exams. — TNS

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).
