Amritsar, May 20

The portals of Sri Hemkund Sahib will be opened on May 25, but, this time, the Uttarakhand Government has put a daily cap of 3,500 on the pilgrim count.

Reason: Heavy snowfall in the region. The pilgrims are advised to plan their journey meticulously, considering the weather conditions. People above the age of 60, sick and children have been advised to avoid the yatra for the next fortnight.

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).
