Amritsar, November 15

A delegation of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) will meet Punjab Governor Banwari Lal Purohit tomorrow urging him to expedite the release of Bandi Singhs (Sikh political prisoners).

Akal Takht Jathedar Raghbir Singh has directed the SGPC and the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee to ensure the release of Balwant Singh Rajoana and eight others who are languishing in jails despite having completed their sentences.

SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami said the SGPC had collected over 26 lakh signatures of global Sikhs for this cause. A representation carrying these signatures would be submitted to the President, 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).
