New Delhi, December 9

Anandpur Sahib MP Manish Tewari on Friday flagged mistakes made in the process of the Jallianwala Bagh memorial renovation and urged the Government to fix these at the earliest.

Recalling the tragedy, Tewari said gaps in the recently renovated Jallianwala Bagh site had hurt several Punjabis deeply.

“Even the signboards do not reflect correct Punjabi. Kodon Wali Gali has been spelled Kodiyon Wali Gali, which means persons suffering from leprosy. The murals at the site do not correctly mirror the population at that time. The spot where Brigadier General REH Dyer ordered fire to be opened has also not been properly designated. The Prime Minister chairs the Jallianwala Bagh Trust and should fix these mistakes instantly,” Tewari said.

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).
