The SGPC has dismissed four of its employees and transferred other staff members posted at Gurdwara Gangsar Sahib, Jaito, in Faridkot district, after they were found guilty of violating service rules and “defaming” the gurdwara management.

The sacked employees are gurdwara manager Kulwinder Singh, clerk Sukhmandar Singh and sewadars Gurbaj Singh and Lakhbir Singh. They allegedly stored liquor on the gurdwara premises and indulged in immoral activities. This was opposed by local residents who staged a dharna outside the gurdwara.

Action has been taken on the basis of a report submitted by SGPC junior vice-president Baba Buta Singh, executive committee member Navtej Singh Kauni and the SGPC’s flying squad. — TNS

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).
