Mandya, June 4

Security has been heightened in Srirangapatna, the erstwhile capital of 18th century ruler Tipu Sultan in the district, following VHP’s call to perform puja at the Jamia mosque, claiming it was built after razing a Hanuman temple.

Prohibitory orders have been imposed in the temple town under Section 144 of the CrPC to prevent any protest or procession from taking place. Besides district police force, contingents of Karnataka State Reserved Police have also been deployed. The roads have been barricaded.

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).
