The date for the opening of the gurdwara, situated at a height of over 13,000 feet in the Garhwal Himalayas, was announced by Hemkund Sahib Management Trust president Narendrajeet Singh Bindra here after a meeting with Chief Secretary SS Sandhu.

Hemkund Sahib is closed for devotees every winter like the famous four Himalayan temples, also known as Char Dham, due to snowbound conditions prevailing in the area.

There is still a thick layer of snow on way to Hemkund Sahib which Army jawans will start to clear from April 20, Bindra said.

Hemkund Sahib, where 10th Sikh Guru Guru Gobind Singh meditated, is considered the highest Sikh shrine in the world.

Lakhs of devotees from across the country and abroad visit the shrine every year.

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).
