Dalhousie, September 13

The famous shrine of Bhadrakali Bhalei Mata in Bhalei sub-tehsil of Chamba district, which is visited by a large number of devotees, has been reopened.

The temples were closed for public worship in March when the lockdown was imposed to control the spread of Covid-19 infection in the state.

Kamal Thakur, Chairman, Bhadrakali Bhalei Mata Temple Managing Committee, today said a two-day mela concluded on the temple premises on Saturday with a less gathering, in compliance with the government guidelines. “Now, further public worship will be allowed as per the government rules,” Thakur 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).
