The 188th birth anniversary of Pt Shardha Ram Phillauri was celebrated with great fervour and enthusiasm in his home town Phillaur today. Hundreds of residents paid tributes to Phillauri and garlanded his statue near the Bus Stand. Phillauri is celebrated as the composer of the world famous “Om Jai Jagdish Hare, Swami Jai Jagdish Hare” religious hymn.

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).
