Chandigarh, February 14

Railways department on February 8 served a bizarre notice to Lord Hanuman to free its encroached land in MP’s Morena district.

A Lord Hanuman temple in Morena’s Sabalgarh stands on land claimed by railways as theirs.

The notification in this regard warns of demolition exercise to be carried out if Hanuman temple isn’t removed within seven days.

Moreover, the notice categorically conveys that Lord Hanuman has to bear all costs of razing the temple if authorities are compelled to execute demolition.

However, PR officer Manoj Kumar, North Central Railway, said the notice was issued in Lord Hanuman’s name by mistake and a new notice has been issued against the priest of the temple, as per a report of India Today.

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).
