Anandpur Sahib, March 19

Lakhs of devotees paid obeisance during the six-day Hola Mohalla festival which concluded today with religious processions by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and Nihang Sikhs from various deras.

Attired in traditional battle gear, Nihangs from various sects, including Budha Dal, took out a procession from Shaheedi Bagh. Nihang Sikhs riding on horses sprinkled ‘gulal’ and displayed ‘gatka’ (Sikh martial art). Later, they displayed horse riding skills and other martial arts at Charan Ganga stadium. Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh, Patna Sahib Jathedar Giani Ranjit Singh and Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib Jathedar Giani Raghubir Singh also participated in the nagar kirtan. —

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).
