Nagar kirtans were taken out across the country to celebrate the 551st birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, in association with sabhas, Sikh societies and sangats, initiated the nagar kirtan from Sri Akal Takht Sahib. During the nagar kirtans, Sikh sangats chanted Gurbani, hymns and expressed their devotion. The sangats also served langar, packed food, sweets and fruits. Meanwhile, band parties, shabad chowki jathas and gatka parties enthusiastically participated in the procession. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, celebrations on large scale could not be arranged.

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).
