Jammu, July 1

The Jammu district administration has termed the reports of unfairness in the issuance of tokens for the Amarnath Yatra as baseless.

The reports mentioned that police had to use force to control the protesting crowd, which is incorrect, the administration stated.

“A definite number of tokens for the Amarnath Yatra are issued daily on a ‘first-come, first-serve’ basis and the district administration is closely monitoring the process to ensure fairness and transparency. There is no scope for malpractice or favouritism. The presence of police personnel is solely for crowd management and to prevent any untoward incidents,” a statement by administration said. “The administration regrets any inconvenience and requests that it be reported to government official the next time” the statement read.

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).
