Mandi, February 13

The Sarav Devta Samiti is demanding registration of the government land occupied by the samiti for past many years in the name of deities.

A meeting of the samiti was held here today to discuss the issue, in which it was decided it would take up the matter with the state government. Shivpal Sharma, president of the samiti, said: “We are facing difficulty in carrying out a cleanliness campaign on the land, which has been occupied by deities since ages, but is under government control officially. Owing to that, we are unable to construct basic facilities such as toilets near the temples of deities.” —

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).
