The Chhath Puja celebrations organised by the Shri Ramlila and Dussehra Committee, Phase 1, saw enthusiastic participation.

As the sun set, women sang “Chhath Maiya ke geet” while holding fruits, flowers and lamps in bowls, while offereing prayers.

Ashu Sood, President of the Shri Ramlila and Dussehra Committee, explained that this festival not only symbolises sun worship but also teaches cleanliness, discipline, and dedication.

In Kharar, Mithila Chhath committee organised the celebrations at Ajj Sarovar, while in Dera Bassi, the festivities were held at the banks of Ghaggar river.

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).
