Amritsar, October 2

Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) will be celebrating the 300th birth anniversary of great Punjabi poet Sayyed Waris Shah, the writer of Heer, at the university’s Dashmesh Auditorium on October 3.

In this event, there will be recitation of Heer and discussion over it for four hours from 1pm onwards.

Jatinder Brar, founder of the Punjab Natshala, will be the chief guest on the occasion. He said the event was being celebrated with the association of the students of the university’s Music Club and the School of Punjabi Studies.

Padam Shree Dr Surjit Patar, chairman, Punjab Kala Parishad, Chandigarh, and Dr Lakhwinder Singh Johal, secretary, Punjab Kala Parishad, Chandigarh, will be the special guest on this occasion.

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).
