Rishikesh, March 1

The International Yoga Festival began here on Monday with nearly 400 yoga enthusiasts participating in the event.

Speaking as the chief guest at the inaugural function, Uttarakhand Agriculture Minister Subodh Uniyal said yoga activates positive energies inside human body.

Yoga guru Ramdev’s aide Acharya Balkrishna said the real cure of diseases lies in yoga, not in medicines.

People have come to acknowledge the curative powers of yoga and its ability to build resistance against diseases, more so during the coronavirus pandemic, Balkrishna said.

He also spoke about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s contribution to popularising yoga across the world. —PTI

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).
