The Haryana Government has announced that November 25 (Tuesday) will be observed as a restricted holiday across the state to mark the 350th martyrdom day of Guru Tegh Bahadur.

To commemorate this historic occasion, the state will host a grand state-level function in Kurukshetra. The event will be graced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

During the programme, the state will pay homage to the ideals of Guru Tegh Bahadur, highlighting his supreme sacrifice, commitment to protecting religious freedom, and his enduring message of social harmony and human values.

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).
