A Good Friday procession was taken out in the city this afternoon from the Sacred Heart Church, Civil Lines, with prayers sung all the way amid enactment of crucification of Lord Jesus Christ

More than 500 devotees led by priests took a round of the city. Starting from the church, they took a round of the city passing through Kamal Palace Chowk, Shastri Market Chowk, main Post Office and Namdev Chowk, reaching back at the church. Bishop Agnelo Gracias, the apostolic administrator of the Diocese of Jalandhar, along with Parish priest Father Antony Thuruthy led the procession. The youth enacted the 14 stations of the Cross. Members of the Yusef Sena helped in organising the function. Later, a prayer was held in the church for world peace and non-violence.

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).
