KULLU, NOVember 24

A delegation of Julli villagers in the Gadsa valley of Bhuntar met Deputy Commissioner Ashutosh Garg today and requested him that the deity, Ghatotkach, be brought back to its original place.

They said a portion of the temple located in Julli village had collapsed a few months ago and the deity was shifted to a villager’s house.

Villager Pawan Kumar said when some persons went to bring the palanquin of the deity, people from the other side opposed them and started fighting.

The villagers said a complaint was made to the district administration six months ago and the SDM was preparing a report. They urged the DC to complete the report soon and he deity be brought back to its original place.

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).
