Chandigarh, May 5

Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today launched the ‘Mukhyamantri Tirth Darshan Yojana’, where the government will bear the travel expenses of the elderly.

Under the scheme, the Chief Minister flagged off the first batch of buses, carrying around 200 senior citizens from Panchkula, for Ayodhya yatra from May 5-8.

The buses will reach Ambala Cantonment and from there the passengers will travel to Ayodhya via train. The state government will bear the travel expenses of these passengers.

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).
