The Railways will run Jagannath Express on the lines of Ramayana Express, which was started to facilitate pilgrimage of places associated with Lord Rama during Navratri in 2020.

“Jagannath Express will be introduced during the Rath Yatra festival in Puri to showcase Odisha’s rich culture, art, tradition and cuisine,” Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said.

Puri is famous for the 12th-century temple of Lord Jagannath. The minister also announced that the semi high-speed Vande Bharat Express trains would also be launched in Odisha soon.

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).
