New Delhi, July 22

Revenue Minister Atishi on Monday said 185 camps, each equipped with high-quality waterproof tents, medical facilities, clean water, toilets and furniture, were being set up here to welcome Kanwariyas.

Addressing a press conference, Atishi said around 15 to 20 lakh Kanwariyas are expected to pass through Delhi.

“We are committed to providing the best facilities for the ‘Shiva Bhakts’ during the holy month of sawan,” she said.

The Kanwariyas will start arriving in Delhi from July 25 and all camps will be fully ready in the next two-three days. East Delhi, North East Delhi and Shahdara districts are the entry and exit points for Kanwariyas in Delhi.

The minister said, “In Shahdara district, 38 camps are being set up, while 29, 22 and 19 camps are being set up in North East, Central and East Delhi, respectively.”

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).
