Chandigarh: Gurdwara Shri Guru Singh Sabha, Sector 19, has started an initiative of giving disposable ‘rumalas’ to devotees and other persons visiting the gurdwara. Tejinder Pal Singh, president of the gurdwara managing committee, said: “The ‘rumalas’ are being made from craft paper by a Dera Bassi-based NGO, which has roped in poor children for making these. Each piece costs around Rs1.50 and is disposable. The gurdwara has ordered 500 pieces. Using the disposable ‘rumalas’ helps maintain hygiene.” tns

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).
