Doda district will be organising a water rafting festival on the Chenab later this month to promote adventure tourism, officials said on Sunday.

In this regard, a trial was organised in coordination with the JK Adventures’ rafting group, an official spokesman said. He said Doda District Development Commissioner Sagar D Doifode and several other adventure enthusiasts participated in the rafting trial.

The trial started from Premnagar and ended at Karara, he said, adding that the trial participants termed it as one of the safe and secure routes for rafting.

“The district administration is going to hold white water rafting festival this month-end as part of its tourism promotion campaign,” Doifode said. — PTI

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).
