Chandigarh, December 27

The Punjab government has declared a holiday in the state on Wednesday in view of ‘Shaheedi Sabha’ to be held at Fatehgarh Sahib.

It made the announcement in a statement issued on Tuesday.

“On the occasion of Shaheedi Sabha at Sri Fatehgarh Sahib, all the government offices, boards, corporations and government educational institutions in Punjab will remain closed on December 28,” the statement said.

Notably, the three-day ‘Shaheedi Jor Mel’ started on December 26 in Fatehgarh Sahib district.

The mela marks the martyrdom of the two younger sons of 10th Sikh Guru Gobind Singh — Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh — who were bricked alive by the Mughals on December 26, 1705.

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).
