New Delhi, December 10

Demanding the release of ‘Bandi Singhs’, several Sikh protesters today took out a protest march from the Bangla Sahib Gurdwara to Sansad Marg.

A two-hour discussion was held in Amritsar last week regarding the release of Bandi Singhs. The Sikh community claims that many of them are still lodged in different jails despite completion of their sentences. “The Akal Takht has constituted a five-member committee to find ways to secure their release and decided to meet the PM in this regard,” said another protester.

However, Harmeet Singh Kalka, president, Delhi Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (DSGPC) said the protest was organised by different Sikh outfits, but there was no involvement of the DSGPC.

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).
