The 68th Parinirvan Divas (death anniversary) of Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar was observed by various organisations, including the BSP, Congress, Ambedkar Sena, Guru Ravi Dass Tiger Force and BJP here on Friday.

The leaders recalled Dr Ambedkar for the services he rendered to the country and society. They also demanded world heritage status for the “Parinirvan Bhoomi” (death place) of Dr Ambedkar in Delhi and its development in a big way.

Later, they garlanded the statue and photos of Dr Ambedkar at different functions. Former minister and AAP Halqa in-charge Joginder Singh Maan, PPCC delegate Balbir Raja Sodhi, BSP leaders Jarnail Nangal, Ashok Kumar, Harbhajan Singh Balalon, Parveen Banga, Harbhajan Suman, former Union minister Som Parkash and Vijay Sampla attended functions held at different places and paid tributes to Dr Ambedkar.

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).
