Education Minister Rohit Thakur on Thursday attended the shant maha yagna at Jharag in the Jubbal subdivision. The maha yagna is being held from December 4-6, where lakhs of devotees will participate and seek the blessings of the deity. Congratulating everyone, the minister said the yagna was being held after 54 years.

The minister said the administration was fully prepared for the event, with teams of the police, fire brigade, water, electricity and all other departments present on the spot. Special buses had been arranged from Jubbal and Rohru. A special traffic plan was made to keep the traffic smooth, and people were urged to follow it, he added.

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).
