Patiala, June 16

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has alleged that the land mafia in Patiala is trying to illegally acquire the land of the Khalsa College Trust.

Jagir Kaur, SGPC president, today said the committee would not tolerate illegal acquisition of its land and as such, the matter would be raised with the Chief Minister as well. She alleged that the land mafia active here was trying to acquire the SGPC’s land with the help of political interference.

“We will meet Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on the matter. I also urge the Punjab DGP to address the matter and direct police officials in Patiala to assist the SGPC in the same,” she said.

“The land mafia wants to illegally acquire a considerable chunk of the whole land,” she said. — TNS

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).
