Srinagar, December 8

The management committee of the Jamia Masjid in Nowhatta in Srinagar alleged that the J&IK administration did not allow Friday prayers for the ninth consecutive week. The Anjuman Auqaf termed the action “unjustified”.

The committee said they were informed by the police authorities early Friday morning to close all the doors of the grand mosque and not to open it for the day’s prayers.

It also expressed resentment against placing Mirwaiz Umar Farooq under “house detention” and not allowing him to perform the prayers.

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).
