Bhupinder Singh Sandhu, president of Pragatisheel Lekhak Sangh, shedding light on the life of Bhagat Singh said Shaheed-e-Azam and his companions made a meaningful contribution to the freedom struggle of the country. It was due to the sacrifices of such brave martyr’s that all Indians were basking in the glory of freedom today. The stage was moderated by Dharvinder Singh Aulakh, general secretary of the sangh.

Poets Nirmal Kaur Kotla, Amarjit Singh, Surinder Kaur Sarai, Rajpal Sharma, Gurmail Shamnagar, Rashpinder Kaur Gill, Navjot Kaur Bhullar, Harmeet Artist, Jasbir Kaur Jass Sidhana, Sukhbir Singh Bhullar and Balwinder recited their poems.

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).
