Kurukshetra: A sewadar, Amreek Singh, at Manji Sahib Gurdwara in Shahabad got stuck at a height of nearly 110 foot after a rope of the pulley system developed a snag when he climbed atop to change the cloth of Nishan Sahib. The sewadar remained stuck in the air for over three hours. Later, the management committee of the gurdwara got a hydraulic crane arranged, with the help of which Amreek was rescued. He said, “I went up there around 8.30 am when the rope got entangled in the pulley and it got stuck. I have performed the sewa a number of times, and I will again perform the sewa after the pulley system is repaired.”

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).
