The police have registered a case after a temple was allegedly desecrated in Anantnag district, officials said. Senior officials of the police and the civil administration visited Bargheshekha Bhagwati Mata Temple in the Mattan area of the south Kashmir district for an on-the-spot inquiry. A case has been registered and the matter is being investigated.

Anantnag Deputy Commissioner Piyush Singla said the culprits would be punished and no one would be allowed to harm social and communal harmony.

National Conference (NC) vice-president Omar Abdullah condemned the incident and urged police to prosecute the culprits. PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said she was pained by the vandalism. — 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).
