Amritsar, May 24

SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami today denied the allegations of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for restricting medical college at Mastuana Sahib in Sangrur.

He said the CM was misleading the people to cover up his government’s failures.

He said under the Sikh Gurdwaras Act, 1925, the SGPC manages gurdwaras and Gurdwara Angitha Sahib, Akal Sagar, Mastuana (Sangrur), was notified by the Punjab Government under Section 7(3) of the Sikh Gurdwaras Act on September 4, 1964, and the SGPC is responsible for its management and property. He said 137 kanal and 18 marla land was entangled in legal hurdles.

“The HC has maintained a status quo on the issue. The SGPC had asked the government in its executive body on November 22, 2022, and on April 10, 2023, to negotiate, but the government never responded.”

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).
