Huge effigies of king Ravana went up in flames as Phagwara joined the nation on Thursday in celebrating Dasehra, marking the triumph of good over evil.

The celebrations took place at seven different locations, including Prachin Shiv Mandir Arorian, Shri Hanuman Garhi, Dussehra Ground Baba Gadhia, Arya High School, Dharamkot, Onkar Nagar and Hadiabad.

Tight security arrangements were in place across the city, with the police ensuring peaceful festivities. Several politicians, social and religious leaders attended the various events throughout the day. Similar Dasehra celebrations were reported from surrounding areas including Goraya, Phillaur, Banga, Nawanshehr, Nurmahal and Nakodar.

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).
