Amritsar, August 25

Akal Takht has placed a ban on ad hoc Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC) officials from holding administrative meetings. The ban comes in the wake of a meeting of HSGMC members that took place on August 14 at a hall of Gurdwara Panjokhra Sahib, which was mired in a controversy.

A video of the meeting had gone viral on social media in which members were seen manhandling and hurling abuses against each other even as HSGMC president Mahant Karamjit Singh looked on. Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh said a sub-committee would look into the issue.

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).
