Hisar, September 10

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) embarked on the excavation at the Harappan era site in Rakhigarhi village of Hisar district today. Rakhigarhi is known as the largest town of the Indus Valley Civilisation spread over 550 acres, dating back to 4,000 to 5,500 years.

Joint director general of the ASI Sanjay Manjul said a team of 12 archaeologists had started the project from mound number one, which was a residential site in the ancient times. — 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).
