Fatehgarh Sahib, March 2

Fatehgarh Sahib MLA Lakhbir Singh Rai today flagged off a bus under the Mukhyamantri Tirth Yatra Yojana. With a large group of pilgrims on board, the bus was flagged off at Bhagrana village. The bus would take the pilgrims to Amritsar and Anandpur to pay obeisance at gurdwaras there.

The MLA said under this scheme, the Punjab Government has provided the facility of free travel to pilgrimage sites across the country. He said, “Under this scheme by CM Mann, the expenses of the passengers were being paid by the state government.”

The passengers were medically examined before they embarked on their journey, and they were also given ‘Chief Minister’s pilgrimage bags’ that contained essential items that the pilgrims may require on their trip.

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).
