The annual pilgrimage to Gurdwara Sri Hemkund Sahib officially ended today. According to the Gurdwara Sri Hemkund Sahib Management Trust, over 1.83 lakh pilgrims visited the shrine this year. The pilgrimage to the holy place had started on May 25.

Located at a height of over 15,000 feet on the banks of a Himalayan lake in Uttarakhand, this is the highest Sikh shrine in the world. Narinderjit Singh Bindra, president of the trust, said the portals of the shrine were closed after the mid-day prayers.

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).
