Jammu, August 31

The Jammu and Kashmir Dharmarth Trust (JKDT) has completed the restoration and renovation of the historic Rani Samadhis complex, a landmark in Jammu city.

The work involved giving the heritage complex a major aesthetic facelift and restoring its former grandeur.

The complex houses ‘samadhis,’ or tombs, of Maharani Tara Devi, the wife of last Dogra ruler Maharaja Hari Singh and mother of Karan Singh, and other queens. An ancient Shiv temple is also built inside the complex.

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).
