Muktsar, January 9

As the Election Commission has banned all political gatherings till January 15, this year there will be no political rally on Maghi here.

Last year, too, no major political outfit had held its Maghi rally. However, the Bharti Kisan Union (Sidhupur), under the banner of Samyukt Kisan Morcha, had held a programme on Malout Road here. Notably, the Maghi Mela is held every year on January 14 (a day after Lohri) to commemorate the 40 ‘Muktas’ (liberated ones) who laid down their lives while fighting the last battle of Sikhs against the Mughals in 1705 here. — 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).
