Gurugram, November 10

Out to woo Purvanchalis in the state, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar announced Chhat Puja to be a restricted holiday from next year.

Khattar was in the city today and participated in the puja celebrations at Sector10-A. He also announced the construction of a permanent ghat for puja in the city.

Find a place with water source and we will make a dedicated ghat for this pooja there, he said.

Claiming that people from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Purvanchal who migrated to city were part of Haryanavi population, he announced that the state government was providing domicile to all those who had been living in the state for at least five years now. — 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).
