The Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is set to launch the ‘07 Jyotirlinga Yatra’, a 13-day pilgrimage and a ‘Guru Kripa Yatra’ on May 12 and 27.

The Bharat Gaurav Special Tourist Train will take the pilgrims to sacred Jyotirlinga temples: Mahakaleshwar, Omkareshwar, Nageshwar, Somnath, Trimbakeshwar, Bhimashankar and Grishneshwar. The journey will conclude back here on May 24.

Similarly, the Guru Kripa Yatra, a seven-day pilgrimage tour, will begin on May 27 and conclude back in Amritsar on June 6. This spiritual journey will take pilgrims to two revered gurdwaras – Takht Shri Patna Sahib, the birthplace of Guru Gobind Singh, and Gurdwara Sri Sheetal Kund Sahib in Rajgir, located close to Patna.

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).
