Kullu, April 29

The three-day state-level Spring Festival, locally known as Pipal Jatra, commenced after two years here yesterday. The members of the Kullu Municipal Committee (MC) welcomed the local Gouhri Devta and the priests performed various rituals.

MC president Gopal Krishan Mahant said that traditional rituals and ceremonies were performed. “Cultural events will be held in the open air auditorium at the Kala Kendra where folk artistes of the district will perform. Various competitions, including the Spring Queen Pageant, will be held during the festival,” he added. Traders from Himachal as well as other states have set up temporary stalls at the Dhalpur ground to sell their products.

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).
