Kurukshetra, August 22

After remaining suspended for almost five months, the light and sound show at Jyotisar is set to resume within a week. The Kurukshetra Development Board (KDB) and local administration have decided to resume the show, with just 50 persons allowed against a capacity of 300.

“The light and sound show was started last year, but was suspended due to Covid. The show will resume within a week. There will be two shows a day, one in Hindi and the other in English. The board will arrange thermal scanning and sanitisers,” said KDB honorary secretary Madan Mohan Chhabra.

“Jyotisar is being developed at a cost of around Rs 100 crore. A consultancy firm will be hired for the theme park at Jyotisar. A 42-foot-tall bronze statue of Lord Krishna will come up in December at a cost of Rs 10 crore,” he said.

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).
