Amritsar, July 1

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) will organise a religious programme at Gurdwara Manji Sahib Diwan Hall situated in the Golden Temple complex to mark the anniversary of the attack on the Golden Temple on July 4, 1955, during the Punjabi Suba Morcha movement.

Harjinder Singh Dhami, SGPC chief, said the Shiromani Committee commemorated the attack for the first time last year and will hold a programme this year as well. He added that “Akhand Path” would commence on July 2 at the gurdwara and its bhog would be offered on July 4.

Panthic personalities will participate in the function in which ragi and dhadi jathas will do Gurbani Kirtan. He said the attack was carried out to suppress the Punjabi Suba Morcha movement.

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).
