The Buddhist community in Jalandhar on Tuesday demanded that the Maha Bodhi Temple at Bodh Gaya in Bihar be brought directly under the control of a body headed exclusively by leaders from the community.

On the occasion of Constitution Day, the followers of Buddhism handed over a memorandum to DC Dr Himanshu Aggarwal to be forwarded to the President of India. They said that if the management committees of other religious bodies have representation of their own, the same principle should be followed in Buddhist shrines too.

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).
