Mandi, September 10

The Kardar Sangh is demanding some relaxations in SOPs for devotees in Mandi district.

Shivpal Sharma, president of the Kardar Sangh, Mandi, said, “In villages, some devotees invite deities to their houses. Besides, deities visit villages once or twice a year. During their visit, deities are attended by kardars and bajantris.”

“In the SOPs, there is no mention of performance of rituals by the kardars of deities. There is no mention of Bajantris in the SOPs, too,” he said.

“We urge the government to allow at least 50 persons related to the Kardar Sangh and bajantris during the visit of deity to a village or a person’s house. The government should give a few relaxations in the SOPs to ensure the movement of deities out of their temples,” he added. — TNS

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).
