Renowned Bollywood playback singer Mohit Chauhan, who shares a deep and enduring connection with Dharamsala, participated in the celebrations marking the 90th birthday of Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. The prayers and festivities were held at Tsuglagkhang, the main Tibetan Buddhist temple located in McLeodganj, amidst an atmosphere of peace and reverence.

A former student of Government College Dharamsala, Mohit completed his Master’s in Geology in the early 1990s. It was during these formative years that his musical journey quietly began, strumming his guitar and jamming with local and foreign musicians in the vibrant lanes of Dharamkot — fondly known as Mini Israel — and Bhagsunag, nestled in the lap of the Dhauladhar ranges.

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).
