Amritsar, March 6

To commemorate the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak, the Christchurch City Council, New Zealand, today organised a presentation on sacred trees of Sikhism by a retired civil servant and author DS Jaspal.

Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel inaugurated the event which was attended by prominent persons.

In his book, ‘Tryst with Trees — Punjab’s Sacred Heritage’, Jaspal has compiled a pictorial documentation of 59 sacred Sikh shrines in India and Pakistan named after 19 species of trees. — 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).
