The Winter Carnival, which was scheduled to be held from December 24 to January 2, had to be postponed due to the demise of former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh.

Extending new year greetings, the Chief Minister said the Winter Carnival was being organised to offer a glimpse into Himachal’s rich, culture, traditions and cuisine to the tourists. He said due to the demise of former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, the event was postponed and will now be held till January 8.

He emphasised the government’s efforts to promote and strengthen tourism as it is a significant contributor to state’s economy.

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).
