Amritsar, April 6

The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) started a ‘nagar kirtan’ dedicated to the ‘Fateh Diwas’ from Akal Takht today.

The occasion, scheduled at Lal Qila in Delhi, will commemorate the 300th birth anniversary of Jassa Singh Ramgharia and 200th anniversary of martyrdom of former Akal Takht Jathedar Akali Phula Singh.

After the ‘ardas’ was performed by Gurdwara Rakab Ganj head granthi Dilbagh Singh, the Panj Pyaras (five beloved ones of Guru), in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, led the procession that left for its next destination.

DSGMC president Harmeet Singh Kalka said the march would reach Gurdwara Manji Sahib in Ambala after passing through Beas, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Khanna and Rajpura. Next day, the procession would leave for Gurdwara Majnu Ka Tila in Delhi.

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).
