Ambala, October 7

Members of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and supporters from Haryana gathered at Gurdwara Shri Manji Sahib here and left for Sri Akal Takht, Amritsar, on Friday.

They are holding a protest march against the validation of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Act.

Led by senior vice-president Raghujit Singh Virk, the members were unhappy with the decision of forming a separate gurdwara committee for Haryana.

Virk said the government should not interfere in the management of the gurdwaras. Attempts were being made to divide the SGPC, he added.

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).
