Fatehgarh Sahib, December 2

The three-day annual Shaheedi Jor Mela, to be commemorated from December 26 to 28 in the memory of younger Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh, would be a religious affair with the district authorities banning political conferences at the event.

Further, wine shops will remain shut and sources of entertainment such as gambling stalls, dance pandals, circuses, swings, etc. have been banned.

Twenty free parking lots have been set up and a large number of police personnel and officials would be deputed for a smooth conduct of the mela, said Deputy Commissioner Parneet Shergill and SSP Ravjot Grewal here today.

The DC said carrying of firearms, sharp weapons and playing of loudspeakers would be barred during the period.

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).
