Chamba, April 17

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has closed 13 temples in Chamba district for devotees. District Magistrate (DM), Chamba, DC Rana issued orders to this effect today as part of containment measures to check the spread of Covid-19.

Rana stated that the Lakshmi Narayan temple, Banshi Gopal temple, Sita Ram temple, Chamunda temple, Hari Rai temple, Brijeshwari temple, Champawati temple and Hanuman temple in Chamba town would remain closed.

Besides, these temples, others, including the Manimahesh temple, Lakshna Devi temple, Narsingh temple and the Ganesh temple located at the Bharmour Chourasi complex and the Shakti Devi temple at Chhatradi located in the district would also remain closed till further orders.

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).
