Bhubaneswar, July 9

The high-level committee set up to supervise the making of an inventory of valuable items stored in the “Ratna Bhandar” of Puri Jagannath temple, has decided to recommend to the Odisha Government to reopen the inner chamber of the treasury on July 14.

The decision was reportedly taken at a meeting of committee members in Puri. “We have unanimously decided that the committee will request the government to reopen the inner chamber of the ‘Ratna Bhandar’ on July 14,” said Justice Biswanath Rath, who is the chairman of the panel. The treasury was last opened in 1978.

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).
