Amritsar, May 26

Amid the lockdown imposed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the martyrdom day of Guru Arjan Dev was observed on Tuesday.

A few devotees paid obeisance at the Golden Temple and Gurdwara Ramsar. They took a dip in the holy sarovar of the Golden temple and listened to the Gurbani.

Bhogs of akhand paths of Sri Guru Granth Sahib were performed at the historic Gurdwara Ramsar where the Sikh Guru had edited Guru Granth Sahib and wrote Sukhmani Sahib.

Following the request of Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh and SGPC president Gobind Singh Longowal to observe the day in their houses, a limited number of devotees turned up at gurdwaras.

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).
