Mohali, October 30

The Languages Department of Punjab has declared the Punjabi playbook ‘PG-The Paying Guest’ as the best book in 2020. The book has been penned by playwright Sanjeevan Singh.

Director of the Department Dr Veerpal Kaur issued a communication on October 27 that the Ishwar Chand Nanda award will be conferred on Sanjeevan Singh on November 1 here by Minister for Higher Education and Language Harjot Singh Bains in a state-level function to mark the celebrations of Punjab Day.

The play revolves around the lust amongst youth to settle abroad who consider their home land as a PG.

Earlier, Sanjeevan was conferred by Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, with the IC Nanda Award for his play. Since 1990, Sanjeevan has penned about two dozen plays in Punjabi.

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).
