Akal Academy, Holi Barara, recently observed the Martyrdom Day of Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Guru of Sikhism, with great fervour and devotion. The event kicked off with a Sukhmani Sahib Path, recited by students and staff, followed by the reading of Salok Mahalla 9, which emphasised Guru Sahib's teachings of humility, courage and spiritual wisdom. The school's music department treated everyone to a soulful Shabad Kirtan session, while a Gurmat Prashan-Uttari Competition (Gurmat quiz) encouraged students to learn more about Sikh history and Guru Tegh Bahadur's life and teachings. The Principal's address highlighted Guru's supreme sacrifice and inspired students to incorporate his values into their daily lives. Guru's legacy embodies courage, compassion and the fight for justice and human rights.

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).
