About 1,500 devotees from Lahaul and Spiti district today gathered at Tsuklakhang, the main temple of the Dalai Lama, to offer long-life prayers to him. The Dalai Lama gave the devotees from Lahaul and Spiti district a cheerful audience. He came out of his residence on a golf cart and walked through the devotees with assistance from his personal staff.

The Dalai Lama had undergone a knee replacement surgery in the US and returned to India in August. Buddhist groups from India and other countries are coming to Dharamsala to offer long-life prayers to the aging Dalai Lama, who has been a pivotal figure of the Tibetan struggle.

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).
