Amritsar, June 13

The footfall of devotees at the Golden Temple saw a drastic slump on Saturday due to the weekend lockdown imposed by the government.

The shrine was opened to the sangat on June 8 following relaxations by the state government. Mukhtar Singh, manager of the Golden Temple, said only a few devotees came today.

Giani Harpreet Singh, Jathedar of the Akal Takht, has asked Sikh organisations, including the SGPC, to strengthen their finances to support the langar tradition. The Jathedar asked Sikh organisations to create alternative sources of income to end complete dependence on charity. — TNS

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).
