Nahan, January 19

The Sangrah administration has appealed to the devotees not to visit Churdhar Temple, a famous religious and tourist place in Sirmaur district, in view of the extreme winter and snowfall.

The doors of historical Churdhar temple have been officially closed in view of the risk the route poses to the devotees.

SDM Sangrah Sunil Kayath said that due to snow and cold, all the walking routes leading to this temple are risky and dangerous. Keeping these factors in mind the Churdhar temple has been kept closed since December.

The temple will remain closed till April. He warned that the administration will take legal action as per rules against the person disobeying the orders and undertaking the risky journey.

Cases of devotees being caught in the snow and losing way come to fore every now and then.

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).
