Fazilka February 9

Devotees have appealed to the Railways to start service between Ludhiana and Pokhran in Rajasthan via Fazilka to enable them to pay obeisance at Baba Ramdev Temple in Jaisalmer (Rajasthan).

Baba Ramdev Yatri Sangh (Punjab) has, in a letter to Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal, pleaded that thousands of devotees from Punjab visited the temple of Baba Ramdev in Jaisalmer. Brij Mohan Jhamb, general secretary, Baba Ramdev Yatri Sangh (Punjab), said there was no direct link to Jaisalmer due to which the devotees had to board train from far off stations or had to go via road, which was an expensive and inconvenient way to reach the temple.

He said trains offered cheaper and comfortable service and the devotees, particularly the elderly. — OC

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).
