Amritsar, June 16

The SGPC has received visas for 205 pilgrims to go to Pakistan on the occasion of Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s death anniversary. The jatha is scheduled to leave for Pakistan on June 21.

SGPC secretary Partap Singh said the passports of 276 pilgrims were sent for obtaining visas for their participation in the event to be held at Gurdwara Dehra Sahib, Lahore. Only 205 pilgrims received the visas, he said.

The jatha will leave from the SGPC office on June 21. After visiting various Sikh shrines in Pakistan, the pilgrims will attend a programme at Gurdwara Dehra Sahib in Lahore on June 29. The jatha will return to India on June 30.

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).
