Suri read out Nanak Singh’s acclaimed poem Khooni Vaisakhi, which he had translated in English five four years ago. Suri gave a moving performance of the 100-year-old classic ballad about the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, which was received by global audience, thanks to Suri’s book. Singer-songwriter Harpreet Singh joined Navdeep Suri in presenting the musical poetry.

Managing director, Teamwork Arts, Sanjoy K Roy in his opening address said, “The Sacred Amritsar focuses on spirituality and built heritage, celebrating the tangible and intangible through music and poetry aligning the mind, body and soul.

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).
