The offerings (chadava) by devotees at the local Thakur Dwara Madan Mohan Mandir was counted today by a team of officials led by Pawandeep Singh, Naib Tehsildar, Chabal, the receiver appointed for the purpose, on Wednesday .

Naib Tehsildar, Chabal, was appointed as the receiver years back when two different groups of Hindu community clashed over the control of the Mandir which is an ancient religious site with a huge following. More than 100 members of both groups were booked on criminal charges.

Naib Tehsildar Pawandeep Singh said that 16 patwaris and other staff of his office had counted the cash which was Rs 5,02,770. The amount is to be deposited in the accounts of the mandir.

The mandir has huge landed property in nearby Bath village and a number of shops in Tarn Taran town.

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).
