New Delhi, May 12

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will pay an official visit to Lumbini on May 16 on the occasion of Buddha Purnima at the invitation of Nepalese PM Sher Bahadur Deuba. This will be the PM’s fifth visit to Nepal since 2014.

At Lumbini, the PM will visit the sacred Mayadevi temple. He will also deliver an address at a Buddha Jayanti organised by the Lumbini Development Trust. He will also participate in the “Shilanyas” ceremony for the construction of a centre for Buddhist culture and heritage in a plot belonging to the International Buddhist Confederation, New Delhi.

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).
