A 70-member jatha of Sikh devotees, organised by the Kar Sewa Sampardai, Sarhali, departed for Bangladesh on Tuesday to participate in the celebrations of the 356th Parkash Purb of Guru Nanak Dev and the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur.

The jatha began its journey from the Amritsar railway station, where Baba Sukha Singh presented a siropa to the sangat before their departure. The Kar Sewa Sampardai has been conducting this seva since 2004.

Baba Sukha Singh and Baba Hakam Singh said the jatha will visit several key gurdwaras in Bangladesh, including Gurdwara Nanakshahi and Gurdwara Sangat Tola in Dhaka, Gurdwara Sikh Temple Estate and Gurdwara Sahib in Chatogram and Gurdwara Guru Nanak Mandir in Mymensingh.

After completing the pilgrimage, the jatha is scheduled to return to Amritsar on November 30.

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).
