The managing body of the Jama Masjid in Nowhatta here claimed that authorities disallowed the ‘Shab-e-Barat’ prayers at the mosque on Tuesday. The Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid said police and administration officials locked the mosque gates at 5.30 pm.

The Auqaf said it strongly protested the “highhandedness”.

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).
