Dharamsala, August 26

To mark the 49th day of former Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh’s death, the Tibet Policy Institute (TPI) of the Central Tibetan Administration held a prayer service and a daylong conference on Tibet and the erstwhile Bushahr kingdom’s historic relations.

Dawa Tsering, director of TPI, hailed Virbhadra as a lifelong friend and supporter of the Tibetan movement. He also spoke on the rich historical bond shared by Tibet, especially the Guge Kingdom of Ngari and Bushahr.

“He was also close to the Dalai Lama and had been steadfast in providing support to Tibetan refugees. This affinity is based on a treaty signed between the two peoples in the past. We remain grateful to him and, therefore, we are organising the prayer service in his memory,” Dawa said. — 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).
