To facilitate pilgrims journey to Ayodhya, the Railways would operate a pair of trains between Amritsar-Ayodhya next month titled the “Aastha Specials”. An express special train equipped with 22 coach would depart from Amritsar railway station at 5:55 am on February 7. After covering a distance of 1,027 km in 22.25 hours, it would reach Ayodhya at 4:20 am on February 8.

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).
