Hamirpur, March 14

The annual Chaitra Mela at Baba Balak Nath Temple started at Deotsidh in the district today. Deputy Commissioner Debasweta Banik raised the religious flag of Baba Balak Nath temple and participated in the inaugural prayers.

The festival would continue for one month and devotees from all parts of the country and also abroad come here to pay obeisance at the temple. Debasweta said that the temple trust had made arrangements to provide best facilities to the devotees coming to the temple. She added that the temple would remain open 24×7, as a large number of devotees were expected this year.

SP Akriti Sharma said that over 150 police and Home Guards personnel would be deployed for maintaining law and order during the mela. She added that strict action would be taken against miscreants creating nuisance in and around the temple.

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).
