Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday visited the Vaishno Devi shrine, nestled in Trikuta Hills in Reasi district, and prayed for the peace and prosperity of the Union Territory (UT).

The Lieutenant Governor in a statement on X said, “Paid obeisance at the revered Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine on the auspicious occasion of Durga Puja and prayed for J&K’s prosperity and the well-being of all.”

In light of the nine-day Navratri festival, Vaishno Devi shrine has been witnessing heavy rush of pilgrims from across the country in the recent weeks. It is learnt that at least 40,000 pilgrims are visiting the cave shrine daily to pay obeisance to the Goddess.

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).
