Amritsar, January 1

Thousands of devotees paid obeisance at the Golden Temple to mark the dawn of 2022 on Saturday.

Braving the chill and fog, thousands of devotees thronged the shrine in the early hours. Officials of SGPC said serpentine queues were visible throughout the day. Inns, lodges, guest houses and hotels in the vicinity registered 100 per cent occupancy.

To mark the occasion, the SGPC in collaboration with Guru Nanak Khalsa College, Mumbai, held a free Covid-19 vaccination camp at the entrance plaza. SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami inaugurated the camp in which 2,000 vaccines were administered.

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).
