Jammu, March 8

After cases of dubious websites booking chopper tickets to the Vaishno Devi shrine, the shrine board managing the temple has issued a warning asking devotees to book tickets only from the recognised portal.

Ramesh Kumar, Chief Executive Officer, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board, has taken a serious note of complaints regarding booking of fake helicopter tickets and filed a complaint with the crime branch and cyber branch of the J&K police.

Kumar said despite issuance of advisory through different mediums, there had been cases where dubious websites have fleeced devotees by booking fake tickets.

The CEO said the sale of helicopter tickets for pilgrims travelling from Katra to Sanjichhat and back was the sole prerogative of the board. —

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).
