The SGPC has distanced itself from the delegation of MLAs, led by Lok Insaaf Party MLA Simarjit Singh Bains, in resolving the matter of preserving the Mangu Mutt in Puri.

The mutt is associated withGuru Nanak. Rajinder Singh Mehta, senior vice-president of the SGPC, said on December 16, the District Collector had assured the SGPC regarding preservation of the mutt. He said the SGPC had already issued a statement that the beautification drive was not damaging the Mangu Mutt, in any way. — 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).
