The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Gurugram, has submitted a memorandum to the DC requesting that during the sacred period of Navratri, all meat and fish shops operating in the district should be closed, a VHP official said. The VHP said such shops near temples, institutions and residential areas hurt the devotees’ sentiments. Besides, it noted, hygiene regulations were being violated in many shops.

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).
