Kathua, January 3

The District Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee today organised a nagar kirtan in connection with the Parkash Utsav of the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh.

DC Om Parkash Bhagat started the procession from Gurdwara Singh Sabha by flying balloons in the air. A highly decorated rath with flowers was framed by experts on which the holy Guru Granth Sahib was placed. The ‘Panj Payaras, led the procession carring ‘Guru Granth Sahib’ in flower-decked palanquin (Palki Sahib).

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).
