The festival of Baisakhi was celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm across the district on Sunday. A large number of devotees visited Darbar Sahib, Tarn Taran, from early morning till late night.

Darbar Sahib manager Dharwinder Singh Manochahal said a colourful ‘nagar kirtan’ was taken out in the ‘parikarma’ of the holy sarovar of Darbar Sahib. The devotees in a large number took part in the ‘nagar kirtan’.The day was also celebrated in other parts of the district and gurdwaras.

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).
