Una, June 10

The district administration is making arrangements for organising the three-day district-level Piplu fair, which is held every year on the occasion of Nirjala Ekadashi, at Piplu village of Bangana subdivision from June 17 to 19.

The fair attracts thousands of devotees who offer a part of their wheat harvest to the deity at the ancient temple constructed under a peepal tree. Devotees from Una, Hamirpur and adjoining areas of Bilaspur district offer prayers at the temple during the fair.

In view of the fair, Deputy Commissioner Jatin Lal has declared a local holiday on the occasion of Nirjala Ekadashi on June 18.

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).
