Chamkaur Sahib, December 20

The three-day Shaheedi Jor Mela, held in the memory of two elder Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh and other Sikhs, started with a nagar kirtan here today.

The Jor Mela is organised every year to commemorate the martyrdom of Sahibzada Ajit Singh, Sahibzada Jujhar Singh and other Sikh warriors, who sacrificed their lives fighting Mughal forces. Several devotees were seen proceeding towards the historical gurdwaras barefoot, on buses, trucks and bicycles. Langar is organised on all roads leading to Chamkaur Sahib. — 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).
