A massive shobha yatra was taken out across the city to mark the 646th Parkash Purb of Guru Ravidas on Saturday. Tribune lensman Malkiat Singh captures the religious fervour on the yatra route.

Decked up with flowers, tableaux and palkis of Guru Ravidas, Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar, the symbol of emancipation of the Dalits, and Parliament stood out as a sea of devotees participated in the coulourful procession, which wound its way across key roads in the city. As the festivities reached their zenith, traffic was paralysed along the yatra route.

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).
