Mandi, February 27

A three-day Chhesu fair started at Rewalsar in the district today.

The Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) said the fair was organised in the memory of Guru Padamsambhav at Rewalsar, a historic place revered by Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs.

He said a large number of Buddhists from Kinnaur and Lahaul-Spiti took part in the fair. Buddhist Acharya Ramesh Negi said Guru Padamsambhav was the second Buddhist after Lord Buddha who prayed in the mountains of Rewalsar.

School students presented cultural programmes on the occasion.

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).
