Jalandhar: To teach students the valuable lessons of unity, devotion and righteousness, Mayor World School celebrated Janmashtami. A model of the ISKCON temple was created and a beautifully adorned idol of Lord Krishna was placed in the exquisitely decorated set-up. The students came dressed in vibrant traditional attires, adding to the festive atmosphere. Parents and children were welcomed with ‘chandan tilak’ and colourful strings were tied to their wrists. A tableau associated with Lord Krishna’s life was showcased. Krishna Janam, Yamuna Paar, Yashomati Maiya, Makhan Chor, Damodar Lila, Shraap Mukti, Kaliya Mardan, Govardhan Parvat, Rasleela, Geeta updesh and Kans Vadh were vividly portrayed. Director Sarita Madhok and deputy vice-principal Charu Trehan offered eatables to Lord Krishna and prayed to the Lord for his blessings.

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).
